Georgia's leadership aren't doing anything for their state's reputation by finding a new minority to discriminate against.

This complaint alleges that many children in the GNETS Program are consigned to dilapidated buildings that were formerly used for black children during segregation...

Quote:

Our investigation found that a GNETS Classroom in the Northwest Georgia GNETS Program is located in the basement of a general education school with its own separate entrance. The students in this GNETS Classroom reportedly never leave the basement or interact with any other students during the school day,” read the department’s findings letter last year. “There is a large sign hanging at the front of this GNETS Classroom that says ‘DETENTION,’ because the Classroom is also used for detention outside regular school hours.

What is wrong with these people?

There is no conceivable way they didn't know this wrong. I know some tiny number of them are still pretending that there was nothing wrong with Jim Crow, but most of the people running this thing had to know it was unethical.

You have not provided for yourselves, so became the proverbial beggar, who can't be the chooser.

In Kindergarten and first grade I was in these schools; I don't have an awful lot of memory of them, however. I know in Kindergarten in November 1989 I was dis-enrolled from my school by the principal and then enrolled in one of these psycho-ed programs.

You know that you're not legally forced to use statist institutions, right?

You can have it your way, short of hurting someone or ripping them off?

Must be of the entitlement variety and not a literal anarchist.

Are people forced into the institution, or is participation voluntary.

If you don;t have to go, don't.

If you do have to go, sue for every penny, resist in every way possible.

Unless you're spying on me, I dare say you know nothing about my life.
But if you must know, my wife and I live in genteel poverty, enjoying the arts and activism to worldly wealth.
