Kiss Me I’m Irish


“The Supreme Court case that ended the dream of racially integrated schools in America.” CNN. The case was Milliken v. Bradley see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliken_v._Bradley. The Supreme’s decided that you couldn’t bus inner city kids to the suburbs and visa versa!

I was in South Boston on the first day of forced busing there but it was busing inner-city white kids from South Boston High to Roxbury High and busing inner-city black kids from Roxbury High to South Boston High. The South Boston whites would move to the suburbs while the Roxbury blacks moved to South Boston! America has a long way to go integration-wise!

And that is all I’m going to say about that!

Happy Saint Patty’s Day to the former South Boston Irish that Teddy Kennedy threw under the school bus! Should have bussed the Kennedy Kids instead!
