Do you think that racial segregation in public school hurts the separated races, assuming the schools are equal in terms of facilities, class size, teacher pay, etc?
Is the harm greater for one race than for the other?
If there were a law in our state requiring the racial segregation of public school students, would you feel branded as inferior?
