They should shut off the racists in the school if it was true.

But why should they bus more black students to Whitman? Creating diversity just for the purpose of diversity?

My view on this is clear: a school reflects the neighborhood. If the neighborhood itself is not diverse, there is no reason to make the school diverse. That's not the way to do it.
If you want to encourage people of diverse background to move into the neighborhood, that is fine.

[b]Except for the fact many of these neighborhoods aren't diverse because of policies like red-lining and other Jim Crowe shenanigans that are illegal today and failing to address these wrongs of the past only prolongs these issues.[/b]  [/quote]

This.  Schools should attempt to diversify their student populations, given this history of discriminatory policies.  Also, research has pointed out the many positive and practical benefits of diversity, so it's not simply diversity for the sake of diversity.[/quote]
