Page "belles_lettres" Paragraph 307

I must confess that I prefer the Liberal who is personally affected, who is willing to send his own children to a mixed school as proof of his faith.

I leave out of account the question of the best interests of the children, the question of what their best interests really are.

I'm talking about the grand manner of the Liberal -- North and South -- who is not affected personally.

If these people were denied a voice ( do they have a moral right to a voice??

), what voices would be left??

Who is involved willy nilly??

Well, after everybody has followed the New England pattern of segregating one's children into private schools, only the poor folks are left.

And it is precisely in this poorer economic class that one finds, and has always found, the most racial friction.
