You have failed in all cases to come up with something of substance, just your idiotic "stay away from classrooms," etc. Either add a sensible rebuttal or find a thread that caters to dummies that rant while adding nothing.
Willard says his children are bused 10 miles from home, passing six closer schools, to attend an elementary school that was specifically built midway between black and white neighborhoods for integration purposes. But teachers, he says, were not given adequate resources to deal with the students from impoverished backgrounds who have greater needs - by which he means the black students.
Just as I stated.
Did you really just link an article from the Baltimore Sun after posting this:

Also, Huntersville is not Davidson and it's a lot further than 10 miles from Davidson to Pineville.

I provided substance--factual, verifiable data from scholars across several fields, and from several legitimate sources--and you flippantly dismissed it because they demolish your "arguments" and inserted completely irrelevant personal anecdotes that I assume you perceived as a rebuttal. You simply cannot be reasoned with. You deduce that I haven't volunteered because I believe that discrimination against students of color still happens; that doesn't even logically follow. Your logic is beyond juvenile.
The Charlotte Observer is a joke compared to the New Yorker.....
This is simply your opinion. It's obvious in writing the story which the OP linked they had a pre-determined narrative then cherry picked facts to support it. The fact they completely ignored the main argument of the parents who brought the suit is testimate to this.
i.e. They are no different than any other tabloid out there these days.

What facts in the Baltimore Sun article do you state are incorrect?
And I listed Larry Gauverau to counter a point. He is well known as he was later elected to the CMS board. One of the parents in the lawsuit was a resident of Davidson.
If you were trying to make some sort of point, I don't see it.

Need more details. I think you want to ignore the dire circumstances of the greater # of students in gutted schools that have suffered from the resegregation and choose to call the article that profiles the narrative as "tabloid". What's the true story? What can you share to show that Charlottes schools are better off now?
Is Charlottes recent rank of 50/50 for economic mobility for our poorest children unrelated? Is it worth saving gas and drive time for Larry Gavreau? Would Larry argue that the schools are naturally desegregated and don't require efforts like busing as his lawyers did 15 years ago?

Resegregation? Name one school in CMS where Black children are not allowed to attend and/or do not attend.

I don't have a problem with the Baltimore Sun article, but the New Yorker article does probably have more facts. The Baltimore Sun article was mostly just quotes from kids and parents. I just find it quite hypocritical that you would dismiss the New Yorker article for not focusing on issues in their own city, while at the same time quoting an article from a newspaper in Baltimore of all places.
I think the main comment Essequamvideri disagreed with was the one stating that students were bused from Davidson to Pineville. Nothing you've posted proves that was true.
