    I don't think there's such a thing as an 'all-white school' here. You'll find some geographical clustering of immigrant populations, and consequently inner city schools may have a higher grade of diversity than an elementary school in some kind of podunk town, but as far as I've ever seen never to the point that there were no white kids in inner city schools, and even in the smaller municipalities (like my own town that houses under 5000 people) the make-up of the school population is definitely not 'all-white' either.

    Not saying that there's no racism here, way too many liberals for there not to be. But school choice as a tool for white flight is not really how that worked out here.

      I don’t think there’s such a thing as an ‘all-white school’ here.

      Because the Supreme Court made it illegal. Please try to follow along.

              Then how are they going to have racially integrated schools? Whites certainly won't do it voluntarily. How is the black population supposed to get a good education if they're all segregated into ghetto schools with high crime and poor teachers?

                Just to blow your mind further, even the most racially diverse inner city schools here don't have:

                • metal detactors
                • police officers
                • underpaid teachers

                By not having an insane education system in the first place. There are no 'ghetto schools' to begin with, and extra funds are allocated to any school with lots of immigrants who need extra attention.

                Doesn't mean we don't have any racism, unfortunately. But that racism isn't being reinforced by the education system like in the US.
