Actually, I think a more encompassing education would be in order so we could better understand the roles and responsibilities of various governmental entities. As a nation, we're sorely missing that.

Besides, we solved the civil rights aspects of all those southern states by replacing a majority of the Democratic Governors and Legislators with Republicans. That problem then pretty much solved itself.
