We have been talking that much about the the bar hearing from yesterday. I just

It just seems like such a tiny percent percentage of the population that's into that whole thing. Yeah.

Based on all the polls. Yeah. I mean people just aren't that into it. Right. There's a tiny group of people that are really into it.

And I guess they're playing to that crowd, but we haven't covered it that much. No. No. And I watched it and I listened to it.

It was kind of it was my interest if you're into that sort of thing. But in terms of its significance, I mean everybody is exaggerating the significance of everything they say all the time in those settings now.

I just I don't know. I'm tired of it. This is from the New York Times about San Francisco and how they're handling schools. So this is a bicostal version of the story. The New York Times reporting on San Francisco for decades.

The education mantra from presidential campaign trails to local school board elections has been the same. Your zip code should not determine the quality of your school.

Well, few cities have gone further and trying to make that idea a reality than saying Francisco. And this is one of your many stories.

We liked we're big fans of this genre of story. The price of good intentions unintended consequences almost always because the the action that's intended to write the wrongs or whatever is involves taking money from people by the government and throwing it at the problem.

And it's generally poorly done San Francisco allows parents to apply to any elementary school in the district having done away with the traditional school zoning 18 years ago in an effort to desegregate its classrooms.

That's not the way you know this. It doesn't work this way most places. The section of whatever city or town or wherever you live in determines what school you go to. They did away with it.

Our current system is broken said Stephen Cook president of the district board of education. Things are actually worse. We inadvertently made schools more segregated. So in their attempt to make schools less segregated than it would schools more segregated.

Why I think that's a pretty good definition of.

He's successful. We want a beautiful whoopsie days. Yes. Well or in the parlance of the Armstrong you get a show.

The affluent parents are able to take advantage of the system in the way in ways that low-income parents cannot or they opt out of public schools altogether.

What happened in San Francisco suggests without remedies like wide-scale busing or school zones drawn deliberately to integrate school desegregation will remain out of reach.

After family submit their kindergarten applications ranking as many school choices as they like across the city computer algorithm makes assignments.

But overall many parents and city leaders considered a disappointment the district schools were more racially segregated in 2015 than they were in 1990.

Even though the city's neighborhoods have become more integrated that pattern holds true in many of the nation's largest cities.

The district is one of the most diverse in the nation 35% of the students are.

I suppose it's going to say here I have to turn the page Asian to wow that's something 35% Asian.
