NEWSDAY.COM: COMMON GROUND BETWEEN RACIALLY DIVIDED SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK
Joye Brown delved into the meeting between students in Long Island from a mostly-white school, Plainedge High School, and students from a racially-mixed school, Amityville Memorial High School. While there were points of tension between the two sides–a white student from Plainedge received a text message during the visit asking him whether he was still alive at Amityville, where the groups met–there were signs that the young people were humanizing each other and forming bonds.
Question to the Blogosphere: How divided are public schools today, in your opinion? What are the reasons for the continued segregation of American schools? What can the government do to increase interactions between members of different ethnic groups within the United States? What programs are there to help increase interactions between children of different ethnic groups in the United States?
