Didn't the 60's end 40 years ago?
And where do the 3 percent of Asians/American Indians go?

Goddammit! NOT AGAIN!
This is absolutely ridiculous. The seperate, yet equal clause laid down by Plessy v. Ferguson was proven unconstitutional 52 years ago. What's next, poll taxes? Literacy tests? Jim Crow Laws? This is a REALLY bad move.

Anybody who calls this segregation obviously has no idea what "segregation" means.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/segregation Quote:
They're not moving any kids here. They're not saying "we don't want any black kids in our white schools", or the other way around. They're only re-shaping the administrative boundaries the schools are in so that the most represented group in each district is better represented at the administrative level. It's just like schools for the hearing-impared or for handicapped kids. It's not segregation, it's trying to give them the best without constantly dealing with exceptions. |

usually people learn from their mistakes
USUALLY, but people in the USA is special.... they like f%^k up over and over again. SEGREATION!!! again... it will be fun to see other protests again... I think the USA is becoming more and more segregated over time.... they are beginning with latins you just have to see the protests.. now they are working on their plan for black people, and even worst is the black people who is doing it...... it will be fun to see the country destroy itself. It is funny that people always worry about foreing terrorism... when the politicians are the one sabotaging the country.It seem that the 60s where in usefull, I bet other states will follow this stupid policies. I hope I never have to live in the USA, for me is just a good shopping MALL!!! jajjajaja

hmm, I see the buzzwords there, but I don't feel it's segregation. That would be like giving GWHS and those in the neighborhood control of thier own schools, which I don't see as a bad thing. The fact is that various cultures congregate in thier own neighborhoods, and when rich people are in control of all those school districts, they don't usually do a very good job. The inner city schools usually recieve less funding when they need more, this new measure would basically give them more control over thier own territory, and how is that bad again?
Would some of you prefer we go back to bussing? giving the people who live there control over thier own schools isn't going to change the fact that the schools in those neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods themselves, are predominantly of one race. They aren't stating that whites and blacks should be separated, I'm sure there are a few whites in the black neighborhoods and vice versa, but the fact of the matter is that those neighborhoods are black neighborhoods and they dont' have the kind of control they want over thier own schools, and they want it, which is understandable. |

How exactly are they getting more control over their schools? I don't see how you can have more control over a school in your area if it's predominately one race as opposed to it being more mixed.

Well there goes explaining racial diversity in Social studies class.
Instead of segregating, why don't you try harder to give all the students equal opportunities. |

I think it's a step in the right direction. Why should people who probably don't even drive thru those neighborhoods let alone live in them have control over thier school district? That doesn't make sense to me. But whenever something comes up that MAY have the SLIGHTEST bit to do with race people always look for a bad guy and now there are retards running around telling the media it's segregation. I would want control of the schools in my neighborhood, I'm sure most others feel the same way. Why does that change when the area is predominantly black? Do these people who call this segregation and rail against it not think that blacks can take care of thier own district? Do they not want them to have control over thier own neighborhood? Do they not have faith in the black community? You've gotta wonder about these types of people.

Another supportive look: finances. Let's say there's 9 schools in Omaha. Omaha gets 1 mil per school per year. So, that's $9 million a year. Schools with higher paid teachers, having students get bussed, etc. will get a disproportionally large cut than some of the other schools. The funds aren't evenly distributed. So, one school might get $2 million a year, while another barely nets half a million. Now, by breaking the districts up, you force a more even distribution of funds. 3 districts, each with 3 schools, gets $3 million. So now, a school that use to only get half a million, now has double the funds, and can better do it's job. Other than that, yeah, at first it seems like blatent segregation, and the article seems to spin it that way, but in someways it makes sense. As for this: Quote:
