# Segregation in the Name of Lower Taxes

[The Daily Kos](http://www.dailykos.com/) points out [this article](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16443-2004Nov27.html) in the [Washington Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/) explaining some of the ... ummm, deeper (??) reasons why racist and segregationist language in the Alabama Constitution was allowed to state in a referendum held on Nov. 2.

The heart of the issue: if we allow the feds control of schools, then they can make us have **GOOD** schools, and make us pay for them through higher taxes.
