Is it true that the school system in this country divide children of different races?

Question

Every where I move, from Boston to Maryland, children were divided up by their races? White and Asian is in one school, African American and Latinos always goes to another achool. While some school do bus a little of other races from the city? but is that how they divided in the whole country? Can you include your state if you respond to my question? Thanks

Answer 1

not divided, rather brought together.

see some kids are smarter than others and their parents get better educations and they live in certain areas. so the cultural marxists see fit to create "diversity".

it's called cultural marxism.
this is why black kids are bussed into white neighborhoods. or a great example is here in SF California where the asian kids are bussed 20 miles from home to go to a "black school". which is insane but it's called social engineering. or liberal insanity. can you imagine not being able to attend a school you live blocks from to be bussed 20 miles for cultural "diversity"???

Answer 2

I live in Missouri, and the schools seem pretty integrated to me. When I lived in California, those schools seemed pretty integrated, too.

What you may be seeing is the different neighborhoods the kids come from, and the schools are by the neighborhood. There was a big deal about busing some years ago, but I think that has fallen off somewhat because it turned out the kids would just fight all the time.

You also find that they kids divide themselves along racial lines to a depressing degree. I am not sure why, except that they are getting into gangs which are racially divided. My own town, University City in St. Louis County, is very determinedly integrated, so I don't know what other schools are doing.

Answer 3

This is not deliberate. School assignment is detemined by geographical area; if the residents of a particular neighborhood happen to mostly be of a certain race, then the demographics of the school will reflect that.

A better question would be why certain races stick to certain neighborhoods, and why neighborhoods aren't more integrated. There are a lot of complex factors affecting this, but it's more to the heart of the problem.

And frankly, "from Boston to Maryland" only represents a small slice of the eastern seaboard, not the whole country. Come to California if you want to see a little more diversity and integration.

Answer 4

Schools are primarily set up to serve a neighborhood. Some/most neighborhoods are predominately a single racial group, so the school reflects that in it's population. You'll find that in the newer suburban areas a larger mixture of various backgrounds.

I suspect that established neighborhoods with a history of being mostly a single race will stay that way but newer ones will become more diverse in their make up.

Answer 5

No...People divide themselves. They group together in areas where others of their race or culture are. The school system is set up in divisions around the city. So whoever is in that part of the city goes to the same school.

Answer 6

People do not get divided up from other races at my school and your avater look nice. At my school, people that are in different race is all togetther in one school. We have no problems in Kansas City Mossuri with every race not getting along. It is just some people that live in the so called hood that try to be a gang and that is not even big.

Answer 7

This is sad to think. Don't get on this war path about division. I am of latin descent; born here in the US and raised in an all white school. I thank my father for separating us from those communities that keep all one color because I would not have received the advantage. There were plenty of disadvantages that came with it but don't get pigeon-holed into believing your race doesn't get a chance.

Answer 8

I grew up in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and every race attended my schools. I've lived in California for 51 years and I see every race in every school. All you have to do is look at the class pictures to tell you that what you talk about is totally false.

Answer 9

Not really... its more of a economic thing... black and latino kids tend to be poorer, and cannot afford to live in wealthy suburbs where the schools are predominantly white, while smatterings of Asian, Indian (well... Asian anyway), and some blacks and latinos.
They usually go to inner city schools where there's mostly black and latino kids with a smattering of Asian, Indian and white kids...
This isn't a law, it's just the way people live.
I live in Connecticut, by the way.

Answer 10

I am in Illinois. Here we have integration, but a lot of it also depends on their geographical location. If it gets unbalanced, then children are bussed around to different schools than the close ones.
