Thanks to commenter mspat for pointing out the wrong name for North Seattle Community College. It's corrected now. It got right by me (and I've been there many times, including for evening classes there) and Jordan notes that he attended North Seattle and as a kid used to bicycle there. ...

Let's be clear. The expectation here is for intelligent discussion of issues, not personal attacks on other commenters, writers, or public figures. That's not the purpose of the comments, and we expect that to be followed.

One of the comments here takes a completely uninformed view of tribal sovereignty to imply that members of tribes are not part of this country. Of course, the idea that people have different loyalties has always been a bit challenging in U.S. history: Witness the history of people being concerned ...

Westello makes a particularly good point about Section 115 allowing a majority of the schools to serve other purposes, rather than disadvantaged students, depending on the number of applications. We're revising the wording of the article. Thanks

Hi Kilgoretrout, Sorry to be slow spotting this. I'm not sure of the exact parameters of the law but in editing the story I wondered about that. And, yes, the HistoryLink.org item linked in that section of Tony's story says state legal restrictions stayed in place until the 1960s. Federal ...

In regard to seattlecitizen's comment: Collin Tong indeed worked as public affairs director for the Alliance, 1996-98. It's something I'm aware of but not something that occurred to me as relevant. In my experience, it would be unusual to make a point of stating a decade-old association with a group, ...
