The push is on to make good excuses for why segregation is actually a good thing now.
What are they defining as “effective black schools” and “effective black teachers”?
These same black segregationists would be the first to scream if whites were to re-segregate in the manner they seem to be cheering for blacks.
“I remember what a fuss there was when integration was forced in my community at the time.”
Why was it necessary to force integration on your community?
As Black children were put into an environment perceived as controlled by whites, the phenomenon of young Black kids equating academic excellence with “acting white” arose. In the Black schools, Black students largely cheered their classmates for achievements. But after desegregation created a clear division of white and Black, the association shifted and Black students began to tease one another by pushing their smart peers into the ‘white’ category. Ever since then, we have seen that Black kids tended to perform more poorly when mixed with whites. …False dilemma, never mind pure racism on the part of the author. Whatever school integration brought, it did not precipitate the Marxist destruction of the family among a great swath of blacks.
Resegregation into private schools or home school networks by families who wish their children to succeed academically would be a great thing, but then, segregation in that circumstance becomes pretty much irrelevant. Hereabouts in this southern town there are many home schooling families and some of them are Negro. They all interact to get the best educations for their kids. The important thing is the desire to educate your children, for everyone, not just for Negroes. Once that is the goal, families with that goal find that race means nothing at all.

They want you to click on five pages to read a short, one page article.
So what did “atlantawhitestar.com” have to say about the issue?
Forced integration is as bad as forced segregation. Just leave people alone.
Does anyone care what whites lost when schools were integrated?
This explains why liberals, after a long history of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and the like, finally “came around” on civil rights — the blacks were achieving too much and getting out of the underclass and dependency on liberals. That must never be permitted.
This article makes it clear how the left used the civil rights movement to continue the harm they have done before and since to black folks. It is really shameful and hypocritical, but they’re liberals, after all.

Although black and white schools were alike in culture, once integrated, black and white activists began tearing apart “racist white schools” and dumbing them down morally, ethically and academically.
At this point, it’s hopeless. We can not recover what communists tore apart.
