By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
TOPEKA, Kan. Sixty years after the Supreme Court outlawed separate but equal schools for blacks and whites, civil rights advocates say American schools are becoming increasingly segregated, while the first lady, Michelle Obama, lamented that many young people are going to schools with kids who look just like them.
Today, by some measures, our schools are as segregated as they were back when Dr. King gave his final speech, Mrs. Obama told 1,200 graduating high school seniors Friday here in the city that gave rise to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case.

We need to elect a black president or something to prove we aren’t racist.
Pray America wakes up

Michelle Obama, lamented that many young people are going to schools with kids who look just like them. I blame Octomom. LOL!!!
One thing about the big mo....she doesn't have much in her repertoire. Neither does her husband - he's still spouting stuff from his communist mother.

So, black kids do poorly in school if there are too many black kids in the classroom with them?
Meanwhile, white kids do just fine in all-white classrooms?
Is she sure she really wants to go where this line of thought is going?

Good point. In order to do better in school, black kids must be around a bunch of white racists who wish to keep them down?

Nope- you got it wrong-
When it is ALL white- they are getting some “Secret”
advantage- Better teachers- better schools -easier
tests-
An ALL, or mostly black/Hispanic school has all the above
taken away from them -
I kid you not - they teach this crap !

This isn't about education, I think Michelle's accusations are unwarranted...she and Holder are making this rattling noise to get you to look away from the scandals of the IRS, VA Hospitals and Benghazi...the heat has gotten too close to the POTUS. Bradly Manning is a traitor who should after a short trail, be shot...instead his is getting a fast SEX CHANGE paid for by the United States tax payers...while other loyal vets are being denied medical help.....this latest Obama scandal is why Michelle and Holder are fanning the fire on segregation. IT IS A RUSE!!!
