Thread: Separate and Unequal - PBS Frontline

    Separate and Unequal - PBS Frontline



    Sixty years after the Supreme Court declared separate schools for black and white children unconstitutional, school segregation is making a comeback. In "Separate and Unequal," Frontline travels to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a group of mostly white parents are trying to form their own city with its own separate school district, leaving behind a population of black students.
    The first half is about St. George residents petitioning for incorporation so they can have their own school system. They will take some of the better schools with them, and students in the East Baton Rouge system would presumably not be bussed there anymore. In the video, they present both sides of the argument. I don't know how it turned out, but there are a couple members here who live near there and probably know more about it.

    They have magnet schools and if I am not mistaken Louisiana has a voucher program. Communities have a right to secede - I hope that St. George's did go out on their own.
