John Oliver's newest youtube video brought this to my attention. It talks about a new UCLA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8yiYCHMAlM
The least segregated school districts are in the backward, deep red south. The most? In diverse, tolerant blue New York.

In fact,
according to 538 large and diverse cities are the #1 culprits for school segregation.
Now I'm not the least bit surprised but apparently this is news to a lot of people. I've said it here before, it's the donk-voting, suburban-dwelling, white-guilt-ridden liberals who are the
least willing to put their kids in schools where there might be more than a few darkies. My experiences and objective data now support it.

That's more charts and graphs than Jelly could ever dish out. It made my head hurt.

One more thing: I thought it was unacceptable to claim black students don't do well because of how they were raised and/or the culture they grow up in but it's okay to say that black students just being around white students is going to make them better?

I kinda get the impression you didn't watch the entire 20 minutes...
I"m not disagreeing with you...
But did you watch the whole thing..?

I did, as demonstrated by the third post in the thread.

Umm, I think the video indicated that the money followed the white kids. Maybe not true, but that is what I heard.

John Oliver is a pompous clown.
Money says he will send his kid to the best school he can and he'll ditch his, "top 10 schools is good enough" shtick.
