Is Segregation Necessarily Racist?
This question has suddenly become relevant once again because segregation has recently been suggested as a solution to prevent certain students from being constantly targeted for physical abuse by those who are of another race or culture. So this concern has arisen for good reason: the increasing number of incident in school in which minority students are being targeted.
So unlike former times, during Southern USA Jim Crowe policy, the segregation proposal is not based on one race being superior to the other. Or in one race deserving superior education to another.
Instead, it is merely being suggested in order to prevent the very possible permanent bodily damage or even death that attendance at such schools could lead to and indeed has lead to in numerous cases.
It is being suggested as a solution in order to prevent the unhealthful psychological tension that such students, be they white, black, East Asian, or of a Latino Ethnicity, undergo while desperately striving to cope with a reality that should not be a part of any child's school experience. The bitter sense that they are being hunted because there is something fundamentally inhumanly wrong with them that justifies their extermination.
The alternative rejecting segregation is to continue to allow injustice to proceed unabated. To turn a blind eye as if it were not the adult responsibility to put an end to it. To glibly mutter, "Well, that's just the way it is and will continue to be!"
And that my friends, makes those in charge of the school systems and those who are able to intervene but who don't, as guilty of maiming and of murder as the perpetrators.
