[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that schools in the South are more integrated than the rest of the East coast.  Northern state communities put up much more of a fight against integration than anything going in the South right now.  Everyone likes the idea of integration as long as it isn't their school.[/quote]

Yes, that's why Blair famously still has a whites only prom. Oh, wait. That's the South, not Maryland. https://www.publicschoolreview.com/blog/segregated-proms-an-ongoing-controversy-in-georgia

It's also why our schools are just as segregated right now as they were when Brown v. Board of Education was decided. Oh, wait. That's the American South. https://www.civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/integration-and-diversity/brown-at-60-great-progress-a-long-retreat-and-an-uncertain-future/Brown-at-60-051814.pdf

That must be why more than 70 Maryland schools have tried to secede and create smaller, whiter, districts since 2000. Wait. That's the South again. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2018/05/02/back-to-the-future-a-new-school-district-secession-movement-is-gaining-steam/?utm_term=.0a27efe5d23b[/quote]
