[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flint hill started at a segregation academy. Just something to keep in mind. They still strongly glorify their founder. [/quote]
Most of the schools mentioned in this forum were segregation academy’s.[/quote]

Private schools were created in response to integration. This is across the board, almost all private schools founded before 1980. So that's not a FH problem, that's a private school issue.[/quote]

Off the top of my head, GDS and WIS were not segregation academies.[/quote]
Why do you think this?[/quote]

It is well known that GDS was founded, in 1945, to be a racially integrated school.  WIS was founded in 1966, and it educated Black students from around the world (especially those with francophone roots in Africa).[/quote]
Well there are still issues of racism per instagram’s black@gds page.[/quote]

Racism, like many things, isn’t binary.  It exists on a continuum.  Some institutions/people/places are more or less racist than others.  And some institutions, like GDS, are willing to examine themselves and make an effort to do better.  Whatever you say about GDS, it’s founders were on the right side of history.

FH will forever have to evade/explain away/confront its ugly racist origin.  [/quote]
