[quote=Anonymous]School segregation is not good. In an ideal world, our neighborhoods and schools would be naturally diverse, with a mix of housing types and a population with a mix of income levels. This is true in some parts of D.C. -- there are neighborhoods and schools with natural diversity. Maybe that's the one situation where you can find white people who don't feel guilty about their choices. School segregation is inextricably tied up with housing segregation. Housing segregation has long-standing racist roots (redling, racially restrictive covenants). The segregation continues bc people see that the schools in some areas are "better" and then move there and the schools get even better and the problem compounds. At the root, we need to eliminate single-family zoning. Then this whole conversation will feel less insane and unsolvable.[/quote]
