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. :nod: 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. :nod:

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? :suspicious:

I kinda get the impression you didn't watch the entire 20 minutes...

:coffee:

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. :nod:

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.
