[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This happened in the late 70s and early 80s. [b]It is somewhat shocking that MoCo was still pretty segregated even then. [/b] But as MoCo officials were trying to decide how to integrate, they had to consider how efforts at "push" integration worked around them. In DC, there was white flight out of the city. In Prince William, VA, the county shut the public school system down entirely. In Boston, there was a lot of protesting of busing. [/quote] Why is it shocking? Montgomery County schools were segregated [i]by law[/i] until the early 1960s. Montgomery County neighborhoods were segregated too, including by law. I don't find it surprising at all that the schools were still highly segregated in the late 1970s.[/quote]
