Something I learned EOTO 3

 The most recent EOTO and mock trial, Regents v. Bakke, we learned a great amount of very valuable information. Something that really stuck with me during these presentations was the segregation of academies. During these times schools were segregated therefore white and black students were not in the same schools. There was also a huge difference in the learning style and environments. White people typically were the first ones to receive textbooks and actually had decent size classrooms and a reasonable student to teacher ratio. Black schools had none of these. Their classrooms were very subpar, most students did not have textbooks and there was a terrible teacher to student ratio. 

While talking about education, "White Flight" refers to the decreasing white enrollment in poor performing, inner-city public schools. In some cases, parents withdrew their children from certain schools based on the amount of colored students attending and/or the location of the school. Many white families decided to send their kids to private schools and pay an expensive tuition just so they would not be in a classroom with colored students. Many private schools claimed that they were christian or church schools that provide that type of education but their only objective was allowing parents to avoid enrolling their children in racially integrated schools. Many of these schools exist where there is a very low percentage of color in the student body. These are schools that do not legally discriminate against minority students yet still have an extremely low amount of diversity.
