He contends that although the officials who kicked those black kids out of school are overwhelmingly white, the issue is "not race but fairness." In almost the very next breath, he likens Decatur to Selma, Ala. If race is not the issue in Decatur, why dredge up memories of a historic civil rights struggle where the only issue was race...
