60 years later we are still trying to desegregate schools in Ole Miss

(CNN)Living on the "other side of the tracks" isn't just a cheap idiom in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Court documents show that 62 years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional, the schools in this west Mississippi town of 12,000 are still divided, black and white -- and the abandoned Illinois Central Railroad tracks that run through town serve as the line of demarcation.
"Half of Cleveland's schools -- the schools on the east side of the railroad tracks -- are all black or virtually all black. The majority of the schools on the west side of the railroad tracks, including Cleveland High School, Margaret Green Junior High School, and Parks Elementary School, enroll a student body that is at least 20% more white than the student population," read a Friday federal court opinion ordering the integration of the district's schools.

So surprising you would post something like this. Very uncharacteristic.

we were doing fine until y'all went elected that colored boy from Kenya..

It's called "white flight" read about it.

I think The Dude is more into being told what to think rather than reading something on his own. Admittedly, it is a much easier way to get information. Pretty rational strategy on his part.

Sounds good. Will the sports teams be racially balanced as well?

Can someone explain the difference between segregation and being forced to constantly redraw your district lines to racially balance a school system.

JFC. Just let people live where they want and send their kids to the corresponding school.

Isn't this the same story in basically all major cities in Michigan?

The far left social engineers would like to have a word with you

GOD YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKING STUPID!

The "social engineering" is accomplished through the emigration of the people who can afford it (the whites).

Are you really this dumb?

I'm not roc. :)

I know OTPT. You're the best.

I like how some private schools in the South like to integrate their schools...by giving scholarships to black students. I guess it could be considered social engineering.

A lot of them are really good at basketball too.

Guess I'll join the idiot club also.
