The only "burden" this puts on schools is to NOT be racist. Not segregate or turn away those who are not white.
That isn't a burden. It is basic humanity.
WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Justice Department lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a “historical wrong” and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered.
The end of the 1966 legal agreement with Plaquemines Parish schools announced Tuesday shows the Trump administration is “getting America refocused on our bright future,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said.
Inside the Justice Department, officials appointed by President Donald Trump have expressed desire to withdraw from other desegregation orders they see as an unnecessary burden on schools, according to a person familiar with the issue who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
@bijouxbroussard Same here but in Florida. My "new" African American classmates were not used to air conditioned classrooms or text books that weren't at least eight years old.
@Crazywaterspring My mother was a teacher, so I came in knowing how to read and write. I’m not sure what the teachers there were expecting, but they were very surprised.
I had one experience that stays with me; I was on the schoolyard reading a paperback and heard a "yard teacher” (usually someone’s mother who supervised recess) saying to a nun, "she’s probably just looking at the pictures". At the end of recess I passed by them and said, "this book has no pictures," as I returned to the classroom.
