Why do parents choose segregation?
San Francisco Examiner ^ | Feb 10, 2015 | Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez

A new report shows a shameful truth for our city: San Francisco's schools are segregated.

The San Francisco Public Press, a local nonprofit newspaper, reported that out of San Francisco Unified School District's 115 schools, six in 10 have simple majorities of one racial group. Alarmingly, a quarter of district schools have 60 percent or more students of one racial group.

The report notes how black students in The City attend mostly black schools, white children attend mostly white schools and so on.

A self-identified political progressive, she and her family are white and consider themselves upper-middle class.

Diversity was important to Preston, but so was an environment where her son could learn.


No diversity is important when it is forced upon other parents.

Kind of like high taxes. It’s nice when someone else is paying them.

It’s OK for the other rabble though. Another liberal hypocrite.

Horrors. In the confines of the fever swamps of far-leftism the schools are largely segregated. I thought this was supposed to happen only in the racist South.

Maybe even the white nut jobs of SF don’t want to see their kids get mugged in school? (Even though they don’t want to admit there’s a problem.)

For too long, the Indians have been segregated onto reservations. The compassionate thing to do is to integrate them into our big cities.
The reservations are just the white mans way of keeping the Indians down.
Free the Indians! Move them to Chicago!

If there ceases to be a monetary reward for whining about “inequality” and “segregation”; blacks will choose to live in black communities where black culture is dominant. Liberals have forced integration on everyone. As a result, no one is really free; no one is really happy.

When you demand and legislate into existence a previously unheard of class or social element, AND make that distinction punishable by law for violating it ... it's only natural for normal people to just stop participating in your program

I was never a racist until obola's administration, which relentlesslt taught and fomented race as an element that has more bearing in and on society than what society has already determined for itself ... kind'a like affirmative action.

Diversity is an attempt to deny the basic human instinct of being more comfortable around those similar to ourselves.

It’s just the way we are. No matter what color our skin is.

I’m betting if the writer has children those children are in private schools.

Segrigation isn’t voluntary. What is voluntary is freedom of association.

Take just blacks out of the equation and see how segregation minded parents are. Blacks are full of hate, anger and resentment. Period.

“Diversity” is a synthetic concept (like so many others) that has absolutely zero proof of efficacy or advantage.

"I think what we discovered is that choice is not effective as a desegregation mechanism," said Rachel Norton, an SFUSD Board of Education commissioner.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..... no, REALLY??? Oh, that cracked me up in real life. I let out a bark of laughter that scared the cats.

On the head. I think the feds wanted us to mix so that there wouldn’t be a bunch of Detroits all over the country.

These San Francisco liberals are in full support of open borders but just don’t want the illegal alien children to attend their kid’s schools.

“Diversity” is actually detrimental to most measurable aspects of success and a healthy, prosperous life.

“Diversity” usually means people with different value systems and different senses of right and wrong.

Therefore, it is hard to have community “capital” with people you don’t trust, and have to spend effort protecting yourself from those who would harm you.

That’s probably the case.
If you have homogeneous group ‘A’ over here, prospering and healthy,

and homogeneous group ‘B’ over there, floundering, failing, and in misery,

there would be the natural tendency to compare and find out why group A does better than group B.

If they’re mixed together, you can’t prove a correlation.

Well she said the students self segregate.The blacks stick with the blacks,the gays and transgender,Pacific Islanders, goths,all are in their own groups.I said what about the Hispanics? She said they even segregate further.Mexicans with Mexicans,etc...I said what about the white kids?She laughed and said “white kids?There aren’t any”.
