[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always find it strange that people in the Maury community are shocked and aghast that anyone would ever think that their protest against joining school districts with an adjacent district whose school is 4 blocks away, whose district boundaries are drawn along the historic segregation line (D St) and in which essentially all of the (majority-black) public housing and Section 8 housing in the two districts is located on the Miner side of the line was even a little bit racist. Nope - surely it is obvious that all reasons for protesting this combination were strictly non-racist. [/quote]

Maury was majority black as late as 2012, so it's not "historic segregation lines" that are keeping black kids out.

The school is barely half-white—over 40% of the students identify as non-white—so it is hard to credit that the parents' main goals include only going to school with white children.  [/quote]

Just because there are black children there, it does not mean that the white families want black children at the school. [/quote]

You have to be joking. This literally makes no sense.[/quote]
