[quote=Anonymous]Integration is not the answer. We should stop thinking of ways to force people to live and go to school together. Those with economic and political control have made it abundantly clear that blacks are inferior to them and they do not want to live near them or go a school with a significant black population. They spent much in time and resources crafting standardized tests and establishing charter schools, G&T programs and other programs to find race neutral ways to isolate our kids. The mere existence, albeit paltry, of upper class black families in these schools/programs does not negate this fact.

The message is received and many in the black community would rather homeschool than send our kids to a school in a community we are not wanted, or in the case of public schools, that is largely neglects the actual needs of the students they serve.

There has been much research on closing the wealth gap. In terms of public schools, Instead of forced integration, lets invest heavily in getting more black teachers in local schools, improving our history and social studies curriculum, invest in enrichment and afternoon programs and reform the education tracks to include trade skills, conflict resolution and economics. Take police out of schools. Otherwise, for those in economically depressed communities, provide those who choose to home school with the funds necessary to do so, including a stipend of sorts for the home schooling parent(s) to help pay the bills.
