public school segregation is unconstitutional. As for white kids going to private schools, I am not sure what can be done about that. This is America, if you have enough money amd want to send your kids to private school, you can.
Sure, but you can make sure public schools have the resources to provide an adequate education. The trick is that wherever most of the white kids go to private schools, the (disproportionately minority) public school system can, and does, go to hell from lack of funding.
well of course all public schools need to be adequately funded. You will get no argument from me on that.
Also, my experience is that school segregation happens everywhere as a function of housing segregation,
I pretty sure that housing segregation is not allowed under the civil rights act. People have the right to live where they want regardless of skin color, assuming they can afford to live in said place.
which is also a serious issue. But in some places, the school segregation is out of proportion with the housing segregation, which is what I was talking about.
again school segregation is unconstitutional.
It is, but it doesn’t stop school systems from doing it.
any school system that does this should be sued.
Back in the 70s and 80s, schools were required to make sure that they were racially balanced. This required busing in some students from wider distances. Some parents didn’t like this, and the courts ruled that schools were integrated enough, so it wasn’t required anymore.
I don’t know that we need rules to make schools racially balanced, just make rules schools much take kids of all color if they live in the school district. Of course you also have to make sure no one is playing games when they are drawing the lines of the district.
And that’s not even considering places like where I went to school, where the school was integrated, but the individual classrooms were not.
? Please explain.
I’m assuming the school would be more or less balanced racially, but individual classrooms would be almost all white or all black.
Also how is this not sued out of existence?
Not everything bad is sued out of existence.
Well I don’t know what to tell you. If the school is deliberately separating classrooms by race, that is a violation of the constitution. The school should be sued. It would be an open and shut case. The school would lose.
