[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]

GDS was proactively integrationist, right?  [/quote]

YES!  It was founded in 1945 as an integrated school.  [/quote]
Maybe so, but let’s be honest here.  There were very few Black kids at GDS, much less than the were in the DCPS the GDS students would have been zoned to attend, and many of the students were there so they didn’t have to interact with the Black kids in the public schools.[/quote]
