[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am horrified at how segregated education has become in this country, how complicit we all have become in making it so.[/quote] Our school is 60 percent white and 40 percent African American and Latino. So the school itself is not segregated, but the experience of the children there is, for the most part, segregated. Most of the white children are affluent and most of the African American and Latino children are not. There are absolutely some exceptions to that, and those affluent Latino and African American children socialize mostly with white children, probably because they are involved in the same sports leagues, afterschool activities, laser tag birthday parties etc, all of which cost money, and are part of how friendships are formed. Nevertheless, It is enormously disturbing how segregated the school actually is, given how diverse it would appear on paper. [/quote]
