Last night, I also wrote a reflection on that very article, and I wondered aloud just how many people wanted to be desegregated. Integration isn’t just a social policy (a necessary one), it’s a state of mind. More people need to believe in the idea that we all should receive an equitable education for all students, and that’s where it starts. Naturally, some students and communities feel a certain way about integration because some institutions aren’t ready to address different cultural issues. When their children come home and complain about what’s happening at school or, worse, look down at their own culture as subordinate to the one they’re learning, people in the original community will feel a certain way about things.

This was appreciated.
