And in the suburbs, white communities are becoming increasingly Hispanic and Asian.<br /><br />However it is very weird for a small town to have two separate schools. The Atlantic article states that black people aren't coming to all White academies because they feel ostracized and stigmatized there. Many of the big city private schools are majority white but are having increasing minority enrollment, but the Southern academies are merely dwindling.<br /><br />Honestly though it's a good point that many of the all black schools in the south are doing terribly. It's the #1 obstacle to integration. Instead of blaming the schools and teachers for the culture, blame the students and parents and penalize them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
