[quote=Anonymous]Private school's care about aesthetics. They want a class that looks "right." This approach means that private schools will bring in students of color (some, not too many), only to take their picture for the brochure ("Look, we're diverse!"), and relieve the white community of concerns that they may be called racist. At the end of the day, schools don't really care about racial diversity because they know darned well the claim that a Black student will be a better calculus just because she is sitting next to a White student (and vice versa) is pure fiction. What the schools DO care about is maintaining power and status. In short, racial diversity enables socioeconomic segregation. Those factors are not in tension; rather, they complement each other.[/quote]
