Defending public schools was going on long before Trump, the last public school in New Orleans closed in 2014. In areas with largely segregated populations, it takes a different appearance; they make a mostly black district, excluding any wealthy areas and businesses that would contribute taxes, and then you dont have to defund when theres no funds to start with, and those few funds go to a police department that hires from outside the district. See Furgison.

The US never meaningfully desegregated.

So we are in agreement then? Trump defunding public schools (eradicating the department of education) is so they can finally 'lawfully' segregate us even more?

was there a point to you arguing against me?

The point is that Trump's education policy is not unique or new, and the republicans don't have a monopoly on racism; structural racism in education has a bipartisan consensus.

The fact that you attribute it to Trump tells me you either didn't know the history or you dont actually care beyond its utility as hostile evidence against the red team and will support the dems in 4 years when they promote policies with the same end effect in 2-4 years?

Just like with ICE, Bush created it, instead of defunding it, Obama built the cages, but libs only cared when Trump was using them, and there was total silence when Biden expanded them, and now libs pretend to care again.
