Reply #13: Metco has been around since 1966 [View All]

And you might be surprised to know that while the senator has been around almost forever, he has never actually been governor of the state, nor controlled any state operations such as busing of students. The south boston busing problem was a result of a court order to integrate the segregated south boston school district, it came from and was directed by the courts, not the federal legislature, not ted kennedy.

Metco is an example of how race-specific targeted admissions programs can address structural racism and can deal with exactly the false issue that Williams raises - the poor outcomes of nominally desegregated inner city schools. Metco is at risk because of yesterday's ruling.
