Reply #7: Beg to differ but at that time there definitely was a Republican Party in [View All]

the South and it was vibrant and it was the party who was against labor organizing and allowing the schools to tak federal funds for education, That policy alone (not accepting Fed funds) kept Southern students behind those graduating in the Northeastern schools for decades. Southern public schools still haven't caught up because of Repug policies for States Rights and keeping the Government out. However, the South has always had DINO Dems like Zell Miller. Without the Civil Rights movement it would have been hard to tell the difference. :shrug:

But, whatever....I was focused on Cindy and the "dirty tricks" and not so interested in getting off into discussion of the push for Civil Rights Era. :hi:

Peace...
