Sixty years after the Supreme Court declared separate schools for black and white children unconstitutional, school segregation is making a comeback. In "Separate and Unequal," Frontline travels to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a group of mostly white parents are trying to form their own city with its own separate school district, leaving behind a population of black students.
This is class warfare at it's ugliest. People too selfish to look at the bigger picture of social inequality and think carving this city into smaller pieces will make their community a better place no matter the cost of everyone else's. Where does it end? The whole movement can't help but stink of elitism bordering on outright racism. White flight, plain and simple. These St. George types sicken me and people like them on both sides of the divide are only getting worse. We are doomed if we continue with this "only take care of our own" mindset.
