[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But isn't the more existence of these excellent schools, despite the fact that some are not yet integrated (25% white), proof that you don't need white kids ? That, given the support, you CAN make good schools with white kids? [/quote] Agreed (with what you were trying to say!), but that's not what the lawsuit was about, exactly. It wasn't about education per se, it was about a system predicated on the idea of separate but equal. The court said you have to eliminate the "separate" part of that equation, and likely forced the state to pony up the money to try and do it. If you get to the "equal" part but still have "separate" you haven't solved the problem, according to the ruling, which I assume was predicated on Brown v. Board of Education.[/quote]
