nebraska is dividing Omaha's school system into 3 distinct districts, and the division will be based upon race - 1 white, 1 black, and 1 hispanic. the officials say the move will help districts tailor education needs and level resources. i'm not so sure. the idea of busing people to forcefully segregate is funny now, and the truth is neighborhoods are becoming less and less racially diverse, so at first glance, the idea doesn't seem like such a big deal. But i think perhaps it misses the essence behind the law. i worry that in our rush to take racial and cultural differences into account in all areas of life, we will create a world where it becomes even harder for us to cross those barriers because we were never forced to, rather than not being allowed to.
anyways, check out the full news article.
