Big rift forming right now in the race science community between the conventional race science guys and the Silicon Valley style race science guys. The right always eats itself

But that's not the whole story. You see, the Warren Court that made these rulings ALSO gave us Brown (1954) & Loving (1967). Christians--esp in the South--saw these rulings as interconnected. In short, "God" was removed from the school the moment schools were being desegregated.
