You'll hear unholy hell from pearl-clutching closet racists (liberal, so ten degrees to the right when it affects them personally), but it would benefit all students in a lot of ways, and would be a great for combating racism in the long run.

Poverty is devastating to children's learning too, so any anti-poverty programs are going to do a lot of help as well. Integration and anti-poverty programs would do amazing things.

Funny thing about integration is that when you put white kids in a poor black school, all of a sudden their is money to fix poo poo.
