No the specific part I objected to was a cultural statement.

Dallas lol! And Austin? Islands.

Well then there are a lot of islands in that state.

There's another factor. For some kids who are independent and academically motivated, it worked well. It also offers a ton of flexibility schedule-wise for a family. Even if it's just 2-3% percent, it will be skimming the cream off the top of public schools. I expect there will be some laws proposed that attempt to limit homeschooling options as there is a lot of money and power at stake.

Yep. The powers that be do not like competition.
Where are these islands in SoCal? I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any large communities in Socal that are remotely integrated in terms of Black and White. I'm open to being proven wrong.
Moorpark California is actually a very unusual integration of upper middle class whites, middle class African Americans, and working class Latinos. The African American population is small, as is the community in general, but it's a very rare instance of an actual integrated community, diverse both racially and economically (with houses ranging from mini mansions to trailers). There's even a small Indian American community due to the mini tech hub in the Conejo. Even next door Conejo and Simi are segregated into barrios including some gated communities. I've actually scratched my head from time to time that the school board doesn't explode or the upper middle class flee their mini mansions but somehow they manage to keep a balance and people seem pretty satisfied there and they seem to work out things better politically than either the Conejo or Simi, with both the councils and school boards descending into partisan bitterness in recent years.

To answer your question, El Cajon, Clairemont, Eastlake, Escondido, Vista, Poway . . .
What I meant is Austin and Dallas standout in Texas along with Houston as not like the rest of the state in many ways.

Cases are rising in Washington and Oregon despite vaccinations and their more stringent than the rest of the country reputation for NPIs (Oregon is considering extending its mask mandate for the foreseeable future). They escaped with relatively minor winter waves, but like Finland/Norway/Estonia in Europe, it means eventually every area will have its turn, hopefully limited by the vaccine. India meanwhile is at 300K a day!!!

Oregon HS Track Coach Calls For Mask Lunatics To Drop Rule After Runner Suffers 'Complete Oxygen Debt'

You could make a weak argument for Clairemont maybe, but nothing remotely close to the Texas areas. El Cajon is very integrated in terms of Chaldean and white, Latino, but not in terms of blacks (all sorts of immigrants though in city central). The black community in El Cajon is limited to some isolated, small pockets. Those other communities are integrated with Latinos, but not by any stretch of the imagination with Blacks. Not saying there is anything wrong with any of these communities. My point is that I appreciated the racial diversity I saw in Texas which is not something I've seen in Socal, but I haven't been to Moorpark. Again my observations were anecdotal.
Cruz grandstanding. Discrimination against Asians (or any race) on the basis of race in college admissions is already illegal.

"lunatics... mask police...dumb" -- is that what you call even-handed reporting?
This is a very interesting breakdown. The red states were the leaders in vaccination early on. Now the blue states are. No explanation is given but given the red states were basically handing them out with fewer requirements, my guess is that that we've reached vaccine glut in the more vaccine reluctant red states.

There's nothing even handed in any reporting now days from almost anyone. Everyone has an ax to grind.
And so you couldn't help yourself.
Did you know that oxygen molecules are small enough to pass through the mesh of a mask?
I passed it on, without comment. My son BTW had a similar experience in a GK session when he was wearing a mask at the request of his partner for some close work together. If oxygen molecules can pass so readily through I'd think the same for aerosolize virus particles.
