Description[?]:
| The NFP recently accused our party of advocating local authority over many moral issues, but not applying the same reasoning to the issue of racism. This is simply not true - in the past, the CPP have unsuccessfully proposed local authority over the issue of busing. In light of this, we have resurrected the same policy that we have proposed in the past. It should not immediately be assumed that we are a 'racist' party - rather, we believe that the often controversial debate between segregation and integration should be resolved at a local level. We do not feel that local communities should be excluded from the possibility of segregated schools because of the federal government's social engineering. Seperate peoples cannot be forced to integrate with one another against their nature - they may have different and incompatible cultures and ways of life. Forcing different people to integrate will, rather than resolving the problems of racial tension and friction, more likely intensify them, as inherantly different cultures are forcebly placed side by side. Instead, the CPP advocates that local communities and their representative governments resolve this matter for themselves, based on the particular issues of their own individual regions. Again, this is not a racist policy, but simply a federalist policy - we do not propose that all regions immediately segregate all of their public schools or anything of the sort. But it is no place of the managerial federal government to intervene in this highly controversial and contingent issue. |
