(3,817 posts)Many whites that were able found ways to avoid having their children integrate. After integration white parents who had means sent their children to private schools. Many of them were Catholic or Christian school. Also, there is a trend for people to homeschool their children. While some homeschoolers are not trying to separate their children from other races a lot of them are. So now we have a situation where there are still many schools that don't reflect their neighborhoods because the white kids go to private or charter school or are homeschooled.
For example the school I work at the most has about 95% Hispanic kids, probably about 3% black kids and about 1% white kids and 1% Asian kids. I know there are a lot more white kids living in the area around me. They live in the gated communities and in certain neighborhoods in the district.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
