If the ability of parents to choose schools is a precondition for disproportionate concentrations of students of the same background in some schools, then it is important to examine school segregation in the context of school choice writ large. In many large school districts, parents are able to choose among traditional public schools, not just among charter or magnet schools. We know little about the effects of choice in this context.
Lately, our country looks like forgot the days of the segregation and now it seems that we are having some sort of reverse racism.
On Twitter user named Sam Ghannoum tweeted yesterday: So My Kids Can’t Go To Jessieville Because They Are ‘White’ and posted a photo proof:

This isn’t new. Schools, especially gifted schools, have had minority quotas for years. 20 years ago my youngest son was denied entry into a gifted school because they had all the white kids they could take. The rest had to be a minority, even if they scored lower on the tests.
So we decided to investigate this case and we here are the breakdown of “acceptable ranges” of the ethnic mix.
We looked up this Arkansas restriction and it reads: (see below) Still seems a little strange.
We may not like this answer but the law was passed by the legislature who represents their constituents. This is a symptom of the Silent Majority being SILENT and NOT PAYING ATTENTION as laws are being passed. The solution is simple requires involvement & contacting your State Rep:
It’s time for a change, I believe all kids should be given a number so the schools cannot tell race, the gender of financials. Admit STRICTLY on merit.
Denying school acceptance based on the color of their skin is not only “racist” it is “Discrimination!”
Perfect opportunity for some conservative educators to open up a schools!!
Home schools!
Good idea!!
The problem is, we still have to pay taxes for the government indoctrination centers.
Needed a voucher program a long time ago, but the left hated the idea of real competition in schools.
If you wanna know the future look to South Africa.
I think something like this will start to be implemented by law in the next few years.
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a racially selective programme launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving black (African, Coloureds, Indians and Chinese) South African citizens economic privileges that are not available to White South Africans.
The left has convinced me that there is no such thing as white privelege. As a matter of fact, its the opposite.
Voucher system would just prohibit white kids from entering private schools as much as they are now.
I hope everyone realizes that when the government schools reopen in the Fall, the level of racial violence is going to be astronomical. The knock-out game and similar fun activities are going to be a nightmare for white kids.
I knew a woman in college that had offers thrown at her all over the place because her last name had been something like Palcao (spelling obsvured on purpose), and they presumed she was Hispanic. Well, kind of, her name came from a grandparent from Portugal, and she looked as Hispanic as Olive Oyl.
It gets worse going to college. I know a white boy who couldn’t get into any of his first choices, none were ivy league, with a perfect 36 ACT and a GPA of 3.9. To get into a top school, you better play ball if your a white male. Otherwise its state school for you.
Nothing wrong with a state college. My kid scored high, too, and went to a state college.
Same leftist garbage is taught everywhere, so might as well save some money.
Oh, and my kid is a “minority.”
In fact, my last name has been mistaken as Hispanic, too.
and anyone who complains will be considered a racist.
Time to homeschool, folks.
As if we need another reason.....
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
If you wanna know the future look to South Africa.

Just like here. Filthy Indians and Communist Chinese get special minority privileges in hiring.
WTF?
That fixes things until you hit the college level. Below college, this mainly affects kids trying to get into gifted programs. Pretty soon, though, it’ll be colleges and universities (already is to some degree), and you can’t produce an accredited degree from homeschooling your Bachelor degree.
The way things are going in the world and this nation, people will have a time just feeding their families in the years ahead.
Education?
Employment?
Those will be way down on the priority list.
So?
There are plenty of other career opportunities that don’t involve indoctrination at the college level and massive college debt that follows someone for decades.
