I am not familiar with that.......where was the school?
Very long story short...the Commonwealth Day School,a school attended largely by "inner city" black kids,moved from Boston (Dorchester or Roxbury IIRC) to Brattle Street in Cambridge.The area's residents were *outraged*! A petition opposing the school was circulated in the neighborhood and was signed by,among others,Laurence Tribe and Julia Child.
After about a year the leaders of the school gave up under an onslaught of venom from nearby residents *and* the Cambridge City Council and,IIRC,moved the school back to Boston.
The Harvard Crimson,surprisingly enough,covered the story rather well.I first heard of it because one of the reporters for the Crimson was a physician I once worked with.
If you're curious search the Crimson's website and you'll find several stories.
