Are we backsliding?

Perhaps this is taking place nation wide but South Carolina has implemented a program whereby parents can pick the school they send their children. The tax money will follow the children.

Am I alone in seeing this as a regression to segregation and the "separate but equal" concept? I can see it now: "Sorry we are all filled up" to black children.

My grand daughters attend an elementary school with a black principal. She is the most energetic educator I have ever seen and the school, as well as she, gets many awards. The interesting fact is that there is one additional black teacher and not a single black student.
