No Need to Assign Schools by Race::By Armstrong Williams (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/ArmstrongWilliams/2007/07/09/no_need_to_assign_schools_by_race)
The Supreme Court got it right last week when they ruled against school districts assigning classes by race in Louisville, Kentucky and Seattle, Washington.
The districts on trial were using race as a factor to help determine where students attended school. Both programs were hoping to produce more diversity in schools by bringing children of different races to the same school.

The Supreme Court's decision was the right one. Where people live, eat, worship, and send their kids to school, is their own decision. The government should stay out of our personal lives as much as possible. And in this case, not only was the government interfering with our lives, they were relighting a fire that was put out long ago.
