“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?
The nature of local law at the time prescribed busing students from the inner city schools out to suburban schools.
I started high school in 68, and my school was forced to integrate. No, we whites didn’t like it (of the 4 white schools, mine received all the black students), but the black kids REALLY hated it. We had several riots over the next 3 years. The black schools were all located in the black neighborhoods, with black teachers, and almost every black student graduated. After integration, and LBJ’s destruction of the black family, the rate is extremely low among black males. 70 to 80 percent of black kids are born out of wedlock. Now the blacks want to go back to segregation (their neighborhoods already are). It has been proven that majority black boys only do well with male black teachers.
