Every year, we hear the city needs to do more. Then we hear the city needs to have more. Then threats of closing schools. Some lawsuits, charges of racism. Then somehow, things get settled.
Nothing gets much better.
Think of a food fight. Stuff gets thrown around, then gets cleaned up, but the cafeteria stays the same. The biggest reason for the cyclical sameness is paranoid politics. Nobody has the cajones to fix the system. But nobody wants to be blamed.
