What if education segregation isn't bad?

In his book, Acting White: The Ironic Legacy of Desegregation, Liberal educator Stuart Buck argues the above point. Buck argues that the culture of academic underachievement among black students was unknown before the late 1960s. It was desegregation that destroyed thriving black schools where black faculty were role models and nurtured excellence among black students. In the most compelling chapter of Acting White,Buck describes that process and the anguished reactions of the black students, teachers, and communities that had come to depend on the rich educational and social resource in their midst. Buck draws on empirical studies that suggest a correlation between integrated schools and social disapproval of academic success among black students.

It could also be argued that non-black students would benefit because their school, minus the black students now attending the all black school, would have less fights, less classroom interruptions, and would be able to maintain a higher standard of curriculum.

What if all parties benefit?
