[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but Massachusetts conveniently uses centuries-old town and city boundaries to segregate and pen minorities and poverty into specific locations. The schools in those select towns and cities aren't technically segregated; it's the towns and cities themselves. Doesn't take much to look at places like Springfield, Holyoke, Southbridge, Lawrence, and Brockton and recognize the stark demographic differences, huge disparities in wealth, and school performance compared to surrounding towns.[/quote]

What do you mean by it "conveniently uses" these things? I've spent a lot of time in Brockton over decades; the demographic change happened slowly over a long period of time. Acting like it was an intentional plan by the state to change the demographics of the city is conspiracy theory territory; it sounds like the "great replacement" conspiracy popular in white supremacist circles, only with different motivations for the elites.

People aggregating in certain areas on their own accord isn't segregation ("Koreans choose to move to Annandal, therefore Virginia uses uses centuries-old town and city boundaries to segregate and pen minorities into specific areas!"); pretending it is greatly downplays actual segregation.[/quote]
