This created segregated white suburbs.
Humans have a natural tendency to self-segregate. It seems no matter what happens, it trends back towards that. Is there a way to address this tendency?

“Those students do not contribute financially,” one organizer wrote. “They consume the resources of our schools, our teachers and our resident students, then go home.”
This brings up a really big issue with the disparity of funding between different neighborhoods. It creates a large range in the quality of education provided.

students from a mostly black neighborhood were being bused to their mostly white schools
I wonder what the effect of this has. It must be jarring to be thrown into an environment filled with people so different from you.

criminalization of kids of color
I wonder how someone would approach dispelling this type of view. I believe this dispelling would be the most effective way to create meaningful and permanent change.

There’s a cruel through-line between the unfair disciplining of a black preschooler, and the police profiling of a black teen on a street corner.
This reminds me of the cruel cycle that a lot of minorities face. They do not have a proper education and grow up receiving negative treatment. This limits their ability to advance in life and in turn, cannot provide the best environment or resources to their children. Their children in turn repeat the cycle that their parents went through.

The system, not surprisingly, mirrors segregation in the communities where classrooms are housed.
This confirms my thought that segregation in early classrooms are mostly parent-caused. I wonder if there are studies or settings that expand really in-depth into the racial and social views of students who did not grow up in a racially segregated education system.
