20 mostly white private academies, all founded in the 1960s and 1970s, brought in more than $20 million from North Carolina in three years. None reflected the demographics of their communities. Few even came close. (Published Nov. 2024)

NC educates their children mainly through private church supported schools.

Not even close numerically, but probably seems that way in the white evangelical christian silo

I think it’s rather revealing that many of those lily white institutions have recruited black athletes to make their sports teams more competitive.

North Carolina has a foundation from a mortgage company posing as pro education when it’s just a front to indoctrinate kids K-12 into Christian extremism using tax payer money

Yep. Private schools are getting public money to re-segregate. Republicans are pushing hard for it.

Sad. Unfair. Aren't vouchers supposed to gut public schools, so we only have white schools for the rich? Oh, I think I said that out loud.

That’s why it’s still so racist in the south; they refused to integrate and and opened “white only” school 🤬🤬🤬

The New Deal & desegregation were only ever for the sake of not looking as bad relative to the Soviets. Once the Soviets were gone, the intention was always to roll all of it back. The entire farce of the USA's rigged sham „democracy“ is clearly being dispensed w/too potentially for similar reasons.

Legal racism from the state that received, trafficked and handled most US bound slaves.

You’re thinking of South Carolina, actually; but yes—still legal racism. As it is in all other southern states as well as other states, where white flight academies also exist.
