Private School plans to segregate students by race

[MicroBrew]

Their school, their rules

Now wonder how you would feel when you learn that this case seems like the administrators are doing this because they believe the minority kids could be helped more if they are around other minority kids. But they didn't ask the parents.

I guess it's the problem of taking excuses for racial segregation at face value, and with kids.

I guess the tuition price wasn't enough of a deterrent.

If I was one of only a few white kids in a virtually all black school I could see welcoming such a move to keep me and my pale homies banded together.

lol at you pretending this isn’t a ‘progressive’ driven agenda

This is the private school nonsense Betsy devos wants to blanket America in.

I don’t give a fuck what type of “school” this is.

Once again you missed the point but I’m not surprised

The return to segregation started while Obama was prez.
Try again.

Lol you guys would blame obama if someone slipped on a banana peel

It’s the same false narrative about the kids being kept from their parents at the border. Trumps no nonsense policy had nothing to do with it.

That's a great line from Rock but I wouldn't assume that either.

No its not.
Blacks began demanding black only spaces when Obama was president.

Thats a step backwards. Sure, they may see their fellow minority students as support but from what? And look at it from the other side. It makes me view those students as people who need special care.

I agree that it is a terrible policy. I don't think there is anything wrong with kids who are minorities starting cultural clubs and things like that, I actually think that is really cool. But having the school create segregation in the name of providing that community is just absurd. Let the kids do their own thing.

Check out her rename of The Beguiled that came out last year. It was really good.

$45,000-per-year private school in uproar over plan to 'segregate' students by race

"In the last month, parents at the $45,485-per-year private school — which counts David Schwimmer, Christy Turlington Burns and Sofia Coppola’s offspring among its pupils — became aware that Director Philip Kassen would place minority middle-school students in the same homerooms come fall.

They also learned that the race-based placement policy had already been in effect for the 2017-18 school year for 7th and 8th graders, and would likely be expanded to the 6th grade in September.

“My daughter who is 11 was like, ‘Wow, this is crazy. They are talking about separating by color,’” one father, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post.

“And I was thinking how antiquated is this? This is backwards. It’s almost like segregation now.”

After a Post inquiry, Kassen sent a message to parents Wednesday detailing last year’s race-placement “initiative” — which multiple sources said they had never been informed of."

Wow. Back to 1960's we go...

I may be off here, but it seems like that is just for homeroom - meaning a POC only "safe space" like all the liberal college kids keep asking for.

Maybe it's truly nefarious, but I doubt it or else it would be all classes. It seems like it only sounds racist when it's a white guy that implements the idea.

well America is land of the free. should be able to.

I'm pretty sure this will end all school violence...

Who is going to want to bully or shoot their own kind..

Before I read the story.

I'm just going to say if these are African Americans, that it's okay and we should welcome it.
However...if it's white people, hell no, they are racist and need to burn in hell.

It's wrong either way.

WTF! USA claim to be greatest country on earth well then you should be able to self segregate and be with your own tribe if you want.

Just so that you guys don't have to read that entire, absolutely horrendously written article, there are very few minorities in the entire school and the school decided that having that small group share a homeroom would give them the opportunity to build a connection and support each other.

Here are the two most telling quotes:





So they think that having kids being the only minority in their class all day long will make them feel like they don't have a voice, but that grouping them together for homeroom will help them to be aware that they are not voiceless. They had good intentions doing this, they really thought the kids would feel good not being the only non-white kid in the room 6 hours a day.

I think it's a bad move, because the kids don't need that shit, the adults do. Adults always project this kind of thing onto kids that don't give a damn.

I was just going to post this. There intentions were good, but it's a stupid idea. They are trying to go above and beyond to try and accommodate to the minorities, but segregation is never a good idea. Not to mention that integration will better help them prepare for life.

This kind of reminds me of the TV show Shameless when they keep pulling the black kid out of class to go play outside with the other white kids during their recess to try and pander to the rich parents that are touring the charter school.

Hypothetically, what if we find out that segregating poc makes them better students. Would you still be against it?
