Spitzer Argues For Race-Based School Admission

It is not money that will fix the inner-city situation. School spending is at an ALL-TIME high, more than any other point in history. The argument that inner-city schools don't get enough money is just plain wrong! The problem is a much deeper family rooted problem that the government simply cannot fix. The people need to stand up and change their own communities and lives.

And what is the deal with the government mandating us to get along by forcing integration? That's about as smart as telling two kids that they better get along or else!
