You wouldn’t have a picture of a classroom today, or a bar chart from before Brown vs. Board of Education, would you? This isn’t “apples-to-apples.”
i was thinking the same thing... and/or it would be good to have a chart before Brown vs. the Board of Education (of Topeka Kansas)... that probably does not exist...
I think last years report that after 50 years less then 5% of blacks can pass the ACT is more apples to apples.
The reality is, that when they integrated the schools, instead of lifting up the black students to the standards of the white schools they dumbed down all students to the inferior levels, that’s the truth, and they’ve been dumbing them even further down ever since.
“This isn’t “apples-to-apples.”
Right, it’s a complete non sequitur.
I doubt rates of suspension have anything to do with integration, and most urban schools are majority black nowadays, if I am not mistaken.
Bad behavior (or perhaps it’s overzealous punishment) in school has to do with other societal forces, I doubt 13% of all children were getting suspended back in the 50s, although that is clearly just a guess on my part.
