More like since the late 1950’s with economist James Buchanan’s public choice reaction to school desegregation, a theory that won him the Nobel Prize in economics but also informed generations of conservative politicians. The planned destruction of public schools and universities had at its core the same racism that ran through the state of Virginia’s refusal to comply with Brown vs Board of Education, a project that Buchanan and his political partners were involved in.
