THUMBS UP to federal judge Barefoot Sanders for once again showing Dallas who’s boss. After a majority of the Dallas school board voted to move the Talented and Gifted Magnet High School from Townview, Judge Sanders put these rebellious elected of6-ciais in their place.

Oh, uh, sure, TAG is the most racially balanced of all the magnet schools: 38 percent white, 35 percent African American, 19 percent Hispanic, 8 percent other. But what does that matter?

We’ll wait for the ruling on dial one.
