Segregation FTW?

We spent to much time trying to mix races together in school but it looks like we wanna split them up again. According to CNN the Omaha school district in Nebraska wants to split up the school to basically make them, well, racially seperated. One of the people behind this idea, Omaha Senetor Ernie Chambers, says this the end what racism is already there. He argues that this seperation would allow the minorities the comfort that they would not be getting the short end of the stick compared to other white students.


I'll add more later...and don't you dare try and steal it...unless you already did it...in which case, too bad.

The idealology used by Chambers is basically the same of those who supported segregation of schools in the earlier days. Although the fear back then was from whites who feared the idea of their children associating with blacks or other races. While I can't find an article now, you all remember such events as the first black people accepted to a white school, and the hardships that followed. Or even the story in Remember the Titans


Another interesting tidbit is found here in the Alabama state Constitution.
