It may be 2021 but one elementary in Atlanta is acting like it’s the Jim Crow era based on the principal's policy of segregating children in classrooms based on race.
A black mother whose child attends the Mary Lin Elementary School was shocked to find out the principal implemented this policy last year. She only discovered it was happening when she asked to place her child with a teacher she thought would be a better fit.
"[The principal] said that’s not one of the Black classes, and I immediately said, ‘What does that mean?’ I was confused. I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘We have those in the school?’

Sorry, but wasn’t this what BLM wanted? Their own spaces?

The principal who made the decision to do this is a black female. Go figure.
60 years ago, they demanded integration. Now they want segregation. Make up your damn minds.

How did a Republican become a school principal? And a black, female Republican at that. Everyone knows, according to the stumble-bum in the white house, that Republicans are the ones pushing us back to the 'Jim Crow' era!

Why? To what end? 75% of black students do not function at grade level now. It's time the black community decide if they can actually learn and take care of themselves or not. Too lazy, too stupid, what the hell is wrong with you that you can't participate in your own education? Oh, wait. That's the problem. If you become educated you might leave the plantation, learn to work and grow, take care of your own needs, decide the dems are using you every second of every day without actually making your life better. Just send the black folks a check and they will vote for you forever. That is not a pretty picture but it's the truth.

Sorry for the 2nd. Post, but I'm wondering if the principal has enough extra classrooms if she gets some Asian or Hispanic children at the school?

Can you imagine the stink that would ensue if a white principal decided to designate certain classes "white classes?" Wow!

I grew up in the South and attended segregated schools . In the late sixties I worked for Bell Tel and the company began hiring more blacks for lineman and tech positions , these black employees came from our local segregated schools . Good employees from STABLE family backgrounds who could read, write and speak English....how abut that ? Lyndon Johnson and the democrats destroyed the black family unit.

They have taken “appropriate actions”. OH DO TELL. Exactly what actions!?! Taxpayers, parents, citizens of this nation have a right to know the answer to the question that no journalist thought to ask. Maybe it was fired, maybe it was arrested for violating the civil rights of these students and parents, maybe it was a prosecution for a hate crime. Segregation seemed "appropriate" so it is more likely that “appropriate actions” for them meant "a raise".

To expound more on #10's statement I did also. I graduated in 1966 there was a separated all black high school. When I started working for a major oil company in 1969 there were blacks hiring then also. They told me stories of harsh discipline by their black teachers. All of my fellow co-workers were all good with math (we had to know math for the job) writing skills were as good as my own never displaying 'jiving' like you see now. I believe a black teacher would know how to teach a black student better than a white teacher. BLM wanted the whole enchilada so now they have it. What to do with it now once whitey is out of the picture. Accusations of racism or not? This is just a bit of CRT no apologies for you race.

Redneck Nation is here.
The kinds of things liberals opposed a generation ago - have now been adopted across the country as liberal virtues.
George Wallace would be proud.

"Kila Posey, who is Black, said she learned that Principal Sharyn Briscoe of Mary Lin Elementary School was separating the school's 12 Black second graders from their classmates last year."
""It's a bit shocking that in 2021 that you would have a public school administrator engage in that practice, particularly given that administrator is a Black woman herself," Shields told NBC."
Next will be separate water fountains, separate lunch facilities, separate busses, separate homework, etc.....

Why does the author find this to be "unreal"?
Democrats have been doing this for as long as they have been Democrats.

In my day my school segregating children in classrooms based on ability. I don't think there were many other races in the school but if there had been I would expect that policy would look like it was based on race.

I taught school for over 20 years. I had black, white, and asian students in my classes. Many of my black students did as well as the others and went on to college. The idea that black students don't do as well is a myth. When they have the support of their families and a solid family life, they are just as capable of doing as well as any of the others. To lump them all into one pile is a disservice to all blacks and they should be outraged. This is the way Socialists keep the myths going in order to further their Socialist agenda. Shame on the politicians who keep it up.

Get out of the way, Mom. It is none of your business.
If a Principal decides on Jim Crow, Jim Crow it is. It is not up to the parents.
The Sovereign State will RULE.
Protest and you will be locked up. Forever. Like the Jan 6 protestors.

This is wonderful! No Black child should be held back by those white racist kids in the same classroom.

This is what you get when educators get caught cooking the test books, as happened in Atlanta some years back. GPA's set to soar when like is compared to like.

When I was in the Army I was often out ranked by senior enlisted black NCOs and officers. The officers especially were treated respectfully because we knew they had earned their rank through education and hard work. At that time most were the product of segregated schools, but that did not stop them from being savvy with good math skills and articulate in English. I never knew a "jive" NCO. I think segregated schools were a plus to the black men I knew. Now, when I see two or more young black men coming in my direction, I try to cross the street without making it obvious that they scare me.

Good, give them their own classroom, now I won’t fear for my granddaughter’s safety. Last year the only black kid in her class kept a knife in his desk and disrupted the class all day long. I saw his antics the day I volunteered as class helper. The young teacher was too inexperienced or afraid to figure out how to handle this brat.
