The N&O reports that Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker is “organizing people for a potential lawsuit against the Wake County school board for eliminating the socioeconomic diversity [sic].”

As school board members Ron Margiotta and Debra Goldman, noted, since the district’s new school assignment plan is in the initial stages, nowhere near completion, on what grounds could Meeker and his allies sue? That the majority has malice in its hearts?

The local NAACP says it may also file suit. And if the NAACP wants to waste its donors’ money on frivolous court action, fine.

But if I were a Raleigh taxpayer, I’d demand that Meeker finance any legal action from his own pocket.

Unless the city happens to be sitting on a pile of cash it’s not telling us about.
