Separate But Equal Schools for Katrina Kids

Isn't it refreshing when the GOP doesn't even bother to hide their bigotry? (via Think Progress): "Sec of Education Margaret Spellings will ask Congress to waive a federal law that bans educational segregation for homeless children. The Bush administration is arguing, along with states like UT and TX, that providing schooling for evacuees (who, in this case, are likened to homeless children) will be disruptive to public school systems, so they want to have sound legal backing for creating separate educational facilities for the 372,000 schoolchildren displaced by Hurricane Katrina." I bet the Rev MLK Jr is just ROLLING in his grave.
