Brown v. Board Did Not Start Private Schooling: https://www.cato.org/blog/brown-v-board-did-not-start-private-schooling Kudos to Prof. Wingfield for making clear that many public schools were “strictly racially segregated,” which often seems to be soft pedaled when linking choice to segregation. But her assertion that private schooling didn’t “really” begin to grow until after Brown is not borne out by the data. As the chart below shows, while the share of enrollment in private schools spiked in 1959, the growth in private schooling didn’t suddenly increase right before that. In 1889—the earliest year available— the private school share was 11 percent, dipping to 7 percent in 1919, then pretty steadily rising until the 1959 peak. (Note, the earlier years of the federal data are in ten-year increments. Also, data include pre-K enrollments.) History is clear that private education has long been with us, and while it has certainly at times been used to avoid racial integration, it has also been employed for reasons having nothing to do with that. This remains true even in our relatively modern era in which “free” public schools have crowded out many private options.

Huh? The whole point of your original comment, the precise REASON you posted this here, was to make a comment on the supposed political aspects of the incident -- supposedly tolerant lib SJW warrior assaults some guy because of the guy's differing political views, and (supposedly) only gets a slap on the wrist for it. If you now claim that you "know nothing" about Winder's politics, then how do you know he isn't a white supremist, also, and the reason he hit the other guy had nothing to do with that guy's political views?

OK, then the 1A thru 4A head coach vote is then worth 1/2 a point. That will settle that.

Not arguing GID policy, but he's already resigned and made it known to the local media that he expects to be approved at another school on 4/15. If for some reason the new position isn't approved, it won't be because of anything that has been posted on the GID. Personally, I'm sad to see him go. There is no question he made positive and much-needed changes in the historically undisciplined Bears football program, and of course the result in his one year speaks for itself. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and whether the new coach, whoever it turns out to be, can maintain the same positive trajectory. If history tells us anything, there will be new (old) challenges next season.

Nick Holt's son Ben made it official that he has transferred from Western Kentucky to Purdue. He is a grad transfer and will be a 5th year senior linebacker. Now all that Purdue needs is a few grad transfer offensive linemen and they will be all set.

You now having money problems, NightHawk?

With Mueller Hopes Gone, So Goes Progressive Unity: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/mueller-report-aftermath-progressive-unity-over/

There is also this travesty of justice: Man Fined Just $1 For Punching White Supremacist Who Organized Charlottesville Rally: https://www.newsweek.com/man-fined-1-punching-white-supremacist-who-organized-charlottesville-rally-1108710 So in our society $1 is the only price to pay for assaulting another human being, even if that human being identifies as a white supremacist or wears a MAGA hat. So SJW's really believe assaulting individuals who may hold socially abhorrent views is somehow justified?

That is exactly what I am saying, combined with the political views of the man who was assaulted by the defendant. It is like the judge saying "Yeah, the law says I have to punish you somehow for assault against another human being, but since that human being just happens to also believe in white supremacy I'll just "punish" you with a $1 fine and no jail time."

Gee, there are horrible people who wear MAGA hats, and there are horrible people who don't wear MAGA hats. Color me shocked.

The Trump Era Should Make Libertarians of Us All: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/the-trump-era-should-make-libertarians-of-us-all/

Glad I provided you with a picture you enjoy so much. Much of your stuff is linked to facebook, which I can't access, so it comes up blank here on the GID. So you disagree with the statement?: "Bad laws don’t become good just because they’re used to target people you happen to dislike."

Here, have another since they seem to be so important to you.

I don't know anything about the politics of Mr. Winder. The facts are that he assaulted another individual, and then first lied about it.

So there is documented evidence/sworn testimony stating that an individual instigated a sword attack against another individual only because he was wearing a MAGA hat? That is the individual was NOT wearing a MAGA hat he would not have instigated a sword attack?
