[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one difference -- when white UMC parents opt out of diverse, integrated school and move to white enclaves, they exacerbate de facto segregation.

UMC black parents don't. They have many more, and different, considerations when trying to find the best school experience for their kids. It's not clear to me what the best option actually is...[/quote]

???? How about the professional adults in charge of those diverse, integrated schools do some out-of-the-box thinking and make the their school someplace everyone is safe, valued and gets a good education---asking UMC parents to stick around in unacceptable conditions in hopes that *they* might fix the school is folly.  There are rational and well-considered reasons other than racism that people leave a dysfunctional school/school system.[/quote]

Yeah, and everyone wants to claim those reasons but won't admit the racist ones.  It's not as simple as yes vs. no as how much.  Being in denial doesn't help.[/quote]
