Public schools are way more segregated than private on this axis.  Private schools are paying millions per year for socioeconomic diversity through financial aid.  Meanwhile home prices and NIMBY behavior are keeping good public schools behind locked gates for most.[/quote]

You hit the nail on the head. [/quote]

Sure. Private schools are more inclusive than public schools. [/quote]

it's not the schools it's the people. Wherever you go, there the people are. People exclude others not like them.[/quote]

Sure. That makes it acceptable.[/quote]

It's human nature. For all the inclusion talk there are so many kids left on the sidelines. Not cool enough, too weird, annoying, etc. Why focus on just SES or race? Exclusion happens in every single classroom.[/quote]
Because those things are resulted from something the kid nor the kid’s family can control and has been happening to the same race of people for hundreds of years on US soil.[/quote]

Yes, and there is something called the civil rights act since 1964. In case you have not noticed it.

Discrimination has been going on since humanity lumbered from the primordial ooze. All races, every corner of earth, all since day one.  [/quote]

And the same groups of people who were targeted and discriminated against before the Civil Rights Act, are still the main targets of discrimination in this country.[/quote]

But it’s illegal and they have recourse [/quote]
Very little recourse and that’s why it has continued.[/quote]

More recourse and less racism than before the “great society” and yet still worse outcomes while other racial minorities have sprung to the top of the US socioeconomic ladder.  [/quote]

Hard to call the US a successful racist country when Indians and other Asians are now atop the socio-economic standings.  [/quote]

I agree. Its mostly a classist country, not so much racist. Which goes to the main point raised by OP.[/quote]

It’s actually mainly an anti-Black country more than anything. Slowly becoming more hostile towards Hispanics, but historically not so much. [/quote]

Also very Islamophobic and anti middle eastern countries - especially post 9/11 and with the current climate of continuing to try to garner support to continue to bomb Iran and destabilize and take over other middle eastern countries.[/quote]
