A parent has filed a federal complaint against her child’s school, alleging it segregated classes based on race.

She said it was a practice put in place by the school’s principal, who thought she was doing what was best for all students.


quote:

The parent said she found this out when she let Briscoe know she wanted her child placed in the classroom of a teacher she thought would be a good fit.

Posey said the principal told her that wouldn’t work.

“She said that’s not one of the Black classes, and I immediately said, ‘What does that mean?’ I was confused. I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘We have those in the school?’ And she proceeded to say, ‘Yes. I have decided that I’m going to place all of the Black students in two classes,’” Posey said.

Posey said she insisted her child be placed in a class with white students. She said Briscoe explained her child would be isolated.


Principal is a black lady. Apparently classes were also segregated last year with no complaints. Maybe everybody else thought it worked out best for everyone?

George Wallace would be so proud of that principal.

Sadly this may be the best strategy in the current cultural climate. Many blacks have radicalized themselves to the point that they are not compatible with their white counterparts

Echo chambers are never good. Isolation is never good. Segregation is never good.

Something about not knowing history and repeating it comes to mind.

Think this would have been the result if it were a white principal?

Sounds crazy, but verified.

There's a really good chance most of those black kids have IEPs, as well. The principal probably thought they were doing something for the best, but oh well.

I swear some of y’all don’t even interact with black people and live your lives watching and reading the news. No. This isn’t the best way. Moron.

Well it’s not a coincidence that every bad statistic from education to crime is linked to them. At some point people need to acknowledge this. You can’t help people that don’t want to help themselves.

It’s because they have essentially grown up in a segregated society. Segregation is not good. It’s not beneficial. It breeds nothing but contempt and hatred.

How many?

Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t believe the majority of elementary aged black kids are radicalized.

Segregating them only breeds contempt.

That would appear to be what is going on with this Principal. My school was the first in our state to integrate, and radical segregationists came in (with the KKK) and blew up the High School (1958) with what was estimated to be 75 to 100 sticks of dynamite.

So many people have fought so hard to truly try to provide equal opportunity for students. This jackhole is setting back those efforts by over half a century.

I’ll bet test scores went up in some of those classes.
