MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry joined her fellow MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday to talk about the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s historic decision in Brown v. The Board of Education and modern racial dynamics in education. Harris-Perry, an educator herself, said that the metrics used to assess the quality of an education need to include diversity as well as factors like test scores and college attendance.
Harris-Perry and Reid wrestled with the history of segregation in education and eventually moved on to discuss the rise of charter schooling which both noted are now attracting minority students as well as white students. Reid noted that this phenomenon leaves public schools with fewer students who may not be of the highest academic caliber.
“You and I are both parents,” Harris-Perry conceded. “So, we know that when are you making a choice for your individual child, you can have political commitments and theological commitments, but your primary commitment as a parent is to make sure that the best educational opportunities are open for that kid.”
“That said,” she continued, “I think we do need to start thinking of an integrated classroom as a quality classroom.”
“Part of what happens is we use these measurements for the quality of the classroom and the quality of the school that don’t account in any way for racial diversity, right?” the MSNBC host added. “It’s only test scores or number of kids who go to college, which are meaningful, but I think the other piece of it is to say you are not getting a full education, you are not being indicated as a human being or as an American citizen if you are learning in a single-race classroom.”

In the game of life there is no affirmative action. Stupid people will fail and sometimes worse. Get smart and life becomes easier, maybe even survivable.
Re: “You may dismiss this as more insane rantings from the queen of tampon earrings.. but it is actually another glimpse into the true liberal agenda. .................... “

Yes, when old tampon-ears speaks, you just KNOW I’m gonna sit up and pay attention........... /sarcasm!!!!!!!
So she is going to put her little darling (you know there is only one) in an inner city school?”
Sure, the same day as BO enrolls his kids in public schools in DC.
Hmmm!
So Howard University will be closing?/s

in many urban areas now whites are a minority.
Tatum believes that it’s a natural process for black youth to self-segregate:
“I think the answer has to do with the child’s transition into adolescence. Adolescents are searching for identity; they’re asking questions like: Who am I in the world?... Who am I ethnically? Who am I racially? and What meaning does this have for how people view me and interact with me?...And as that young person is trying to make sense of his experience, in all likelihood he is going to seek out and try to connect with other people who are having similar experiences.
“As a result, even the young person who has grown up in a multiracial community and had a racially mixed group of friends tends to start to pull away from his non-black friends, his white friends in particular.”
The study, conducted by University of Michigan sociology researchers Siwei Cheng and Yu Xie, suggests that the more options students have in choosing friends, the more likely they are to settle into close friendships with those who have similar racial backgrounds.
“Segregation is by far the most serious in the central cities of the largest metropolitan areas,” the report says, “but it is also severe in central cities of all sizes and suburbs of the largest metro areas, which are now half nonwhite.”
Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Walton Radford found those with the most diverse friendship groups in college were white students. They also found that the poor, rural or working class conservative white student was the most underserved and least represented group in college. The discrimination against white students is discussed here:

'Nuffin.
Its da word problems:
Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy and $100 for a 4x4. If he has stolen 2 BMW’s and 3 4x4’s how many Chevy’s will he have to steal to make $800?
Duh... mebbe dat’s why I’se such a illiterate.
Can this thinking be extended to such things as (a) the feminist movement, (b) the Congressional Black Caucus, (c) the Al Sharpton circus and dance band, etc.?
thank you... that is pure, unadulterated, bullsh!t
“It’s a well settled axiom of government school education that a black kid is incapable of learning unless sitting next to a white kid.”
Well worthy of a repeat.
“indicated”?? This woman is just another jive talking pseudo intellectual.
I heard some facist on some news report basically saying we needed to “create more diverse communities” to “solve” the problem of schools with a majority one race be it black, white or hispanic.
I’m sure she wanted to add “by force” but since I know liberalize I knew it was implied.
You forgot how to make a shiv in shop class.
You are not getting a “full education” in any public school classroom!
“4x4” = 16, right? /s
