Does Integration Mean Better Education?

[William Joyce]

I've always wondered. What about sitting next to a person of a different race makes for a better education? Isn't it "racist" to suggest that blacks can't learn unless they're sitting next to whites?

Your ignorance is appalling. You have no proof of the claim.

Further integration was required because the separate but equal policy was a farce. EVERYONE in this country is entitled to the same rights. That currently means FREE education through High school. ( ok not really free but close enough)

When a system is established to PREVENT one race or several races from receiving their rights and called equal then it is the Governments RESPONSIBILITY to step in, as was done.

I am tired of your racist shit. You may be more polished at it then some of the other racist on this board but that IS what you are.

I have never been able to understand the need to denegrate and hate simply because of the color of ones skin. Your intelligence should be able to get past the ignorant crap you spew.

Does sitting next to anyone make for a better education? How about a half-dozen Klingons?

I think it's rather irrelevant who is sitting next to you as long as neither you nor they are disrupting the class.

ya know what....if you racist whites had been smart, you would have spent the cash to make sure that separate but equal really WAS equal.... I bet Brown v.. Board of Education might not ever have been taken to court if Little Rock had actually provided top notch schools for blacks.

you pissed in your whiskey a long time ago.... now all you can do is whine...

and drink up!

But, busing isn't the answer.

The millions upon millions we've thrown away over the years on busing could of been better spent on education, equal schools, better paid teachers, books, environmental improvements, etc.....

i agree. Forced integration/bussing didn't work worth a crap.

I don't think I'd like to sit beside The Borg.

Do I detect discrimination? You have to apply the same "innocent until they blow you up" rule you do Muslims.

No, I was thinking about all the Borg swarming around, "resistance is futile" and all the rest of it, I'd never get any work done

Not to mention they do not shower, they must smell really bad.

I bet it's hell in their locker room when the armour comes off

I would say that it is true that integration can benefit the overall education of kid.

Integration shouldn't even be an issue. I disagree with how states fund school districts. It means you are always going to have rich districts and poor districts. My personal opinion is that a State should tax everyone and provide equal money based on attendance to every school district. With a base amount required no matter attendance.

But it is a State issue not a Federal one, until a State or States violate the basic rights of citizens, which then DOES make it a federal concern.

I understand your point, but unless the "BLACK" ibs sitting next to a white, he or she is not likely to be provided as good an education.

Is leftism bringing this kind of fucking idiocy around full circle?

 

[anotherlife]

This may not matter because the liberal wisecracking that they are supposed to learn is worthless anyways.

Son; Black kids should stay in their ghetto schools which are run largely by DemoKKKrats who chronically underfund and fail to support them??? OK: what are the REAL reasons Black kids do better away from ghetto schools?

Despite decades of school reform, too many racially and economically isolated schools fail to serve students well. Schools that primarily serve low-income students of color often have poor curricular offerings, few extracurricular and enrichment activities, and too many inexperienced teachers. Unsurprisingly, the prevalence of isolated, segregated, low-performing public schools is the most powerful driver of the persistent educational opportunity gap. This is by no means the fault of the students or staff who attend and work in these schools, respectively; there are many examples of individual schools effectively serving predominantly low-income students and students of color. Yet many states’ school finance systems have historically failed to direct adequate resources to schools that primarily serve poor nonwhite students. In order to give millions of low-income students of color the educational resources and opportunities they need and deserve, it is necessary to develop integrated schools that embody a unified and shared outlook for all students.

Contrary to popular opinion, schools are not most segregated in the South but rather in large metropolitan areas in the Northeast and in the West—in places with hundreds of school districts that align with municipal boundaries and that reinforce segregated housing patterns. To successfully enroll large numbers of students in racially and socioeconomically integrated schools, policymakers must look beyond current school boundaries and work to consolidate school districts.

Because of the legacy and persistence of housing segregation, in many densely populated areas, it is simply impossible to integrate schools within current district boundaries. For instance, Fairfield County, Connecticut, encompasses 24 separate school districts, including Westport, Easton, and Bridgeport. Overall, the county is diverse; however, unnecessary district boundaries make it impossible to integrate schools in the community. Fairfield County is roughly three-fourths white, 10 percent black and 17 percent Latino. Yet in 2017, 83 percent of the students enrolled in Westport schools are white. In nearby Easton, again, nearly 85 percent of the district’s students are white. Conversely, less than 1 percent of the students in Easton’s school system are black, and just roughly 12 percent are not white. Meanwhile, in the city Bridgeport—a short drive south of Easton—85 percent of the students are nonwhite.
