You don't like him because: 1. He's a pro-life Christian 2. He prods his team to improbable wins 3. He's better looking than you. Sounds pretty small ball, dude.

When magnet schools first came into favor in the 1960s and 1970s, the idea was that they’d promote desegregation by drawing students from predominantly white areas (like a magnet, get it?) to schools in mostly black areas that offered an enriched curriculum in things like science or the arts.
While the success of magnet schools as a desegregation tool was mixed, there was no question the kids who attended them reaped a significant benefit, and the magnet school idea took off. By the start of the 21st Century there were more than 3,000 magnet schools all over the country, in small cities as well as big ones.
As magnet schools became more popular, the challenge became not how to attract students to them but how to fairly determine who got the limited number of spots available. It’s a challenge the Bend-LaPine School District has sadly failed to meet.– Wendy Boyer
