70 yrs after #SCOTUS delivered its landmark decision outlawing school segregation, #BrownVBoardOfEducation ranks as perhaps the court’s most venerated decision….
Most everything else related to the decision…is complex.
Nearly 7/10 Americans say more should be done to integrate schools…a figure that has steadily climbed from 30% in 1973….But a deeper look into the views of both Black & White people shows skepticism about the success of #Brown….
Because of #Brown, #school ofcls may no longer deliberately separate students by #race —but under more recent #SCOTUS orders, they aren’t allowed to deliberately mix them by race either. #Integration advocates today have stopped looking to the #federal courts for help & are pursuing #state lawsuits instead.…some #Black leaders have concluded that the answer is not integration…but more #money & #opportunity for high #poverty#schools….
The links between #crime, #poverty, and social #opportunity are so basic that they're covered in every intro. #sociology textbook, yet #conservatives insist on ignoring causation, reason, and evidence, and think more #guns and #prisons will keep them safe. It's frankly idiotic.

Speaker Mike Johnson is from Louisiana. Let's have a peek at what Mike has done for Louisiana, coz #GOP#Republicans have chosen him to do those same things listed for ALL of us, PLUS restricting #abortion, cutting social programs like #SocialSecurity, etc:

I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
Not by you or me, of course. Programmable by the furnace #manufacturer. They're actually made by a division of #GE, which brags in their sales literature aimed at industry that the customers only have to buy one #model of motor for a given power, and then they can #program it for all different kinds of applications. No need to stock thirty different 1/2 HP motors for different furnace types!
But the furnace companies take this #opportunity to basically #DRM the motor/furnace combo.
