School district starts classes separated by race.

15. oh boy. ok. 1st- this is completely VOLUNTARY.

let me just situate this in the real world-
evanston is the burb across the border from me in chicago. home of northwestern, and as liberal a town as u can probably find in the u.s. there is a plan being debated right now on ways the city can pay reparations. this is coming out of a sincerely good place.
despite being very liberal, there is a racial housing divide, and an achievement gaps in the schools. there’s only 1 public hs, and it’s among the best in the state, at the least. they have been earnestly grappling w this for DECADES now. honestly, earnestly.
i think this is a very positive move. i dont think there will b much resentment or judgement from white students/parents. if there is, i think other white parents will b there to push back.

it’s a race centered problem. it’s only likely to b resolved w a race centered solution.
i applaud them for sticking their neck out in a climate where a whoooole lot of ppl will try to chop it off before getting their facts straight.
pls relax your knees, ppl.
