[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who are like "oh whatever, who cares if white families leave?"

White flight is a thing, and reduces educational equality. The research is pretty clear that segregation of schools harms Black and Hispanic children.

You can also look at the work by Rucker Johnson about the impacts of desegregation--for black kids, desegregation meant an increase in graduation rates, a decrease in student poverty and greater equity in per student spending and class size. The NCSD found a large variety of measurable improvements for all children in integrated schools.

Resegregation has been increasing lately, and returning to separate and unequal has been uniformly negative. You can look at David Leibovitz's work on the impact of dropping de-segregation orders. Graduation rates for Black and Hispanic students dropped immediately.[/quote]

I can't believe there are people here who are willing to go back to the era of segregation.[/quote]

Can ya stop with the fatalist sensationalism? Please? No one is advocating that.[/quote]

I mean, I would support one but don’t have the money to hire a lawyer.  It is something being considered by some.[/quote]
