Judge Orders Cleveland Schools to Desegrate

[Dinh AaronMk]

Yes, this actually just recently happened

After fifty years a US Federal Court judge has ordered the Cleveland District Schools to desegregate their schools. Over that fifty year period the district failed to integrate their students, choosing to half-ass their way around with a small number of minor programs that only achieved a token effort.

Cleveland residents proposed segregating schools by sex if they couldn't segregate them by race, to keep black boys and white girls from interacting at school.

well nice.

Also, I went into this article thinking it was the city in Ohio, but that isn't the case. This is a middle-sized town of 12,000 people. You can see schools in a big city segregating themselves without any purpose or plan, but in a town of 12,000 segregation must be carefully planned by not only the school-board, but the town government itself in the use of taxes.

At the end of the day too it's pretty easy when a railroad literally splits the town between black and white. So then you just plan out where you build schools so they get the highest ratio of black over white, or white over black.

I'm not entirely sure what manner of positive outcome this court order is supposed to achieve. The parents of Cleveland's white children will merely duplicate the same exact migratory behaviors that countless others across the US have engaged in over the past six or seven decades: relocating to and establishing themselves in white-majority locales, enrolling their children in white-majority schools, and taking part in white-majority institutions.
