Episode 3 Reflection

There was one particular thing that stuck out to me in this episode, the Civil Rights Act was passed and then the legislature saw that black kids were staying in city schools that these schools were poor and didn't have a lot of resources. White kids were moving out of the city to a better more funded school. By everyone doing this, it made almost its own segregation again. So the legislature decided to bus kids from in the city out to the suburbs and vice versa. With this happening, white families were paying a lot of money for their good school, for their kids to go to, only to have other kids come in. I find this appalling. Many people will probably disagree with me but to pay money for something you want, and have somebody else come in and use it, its crazy. I would like to compare this act, to the inclusion laws for disability students in classrooms. This tells the amount of inclusion that should happen in a classroom, before it comes intrusive to the other students, I believe that changing the students schools like that from city to suburb, was maybe helping one party in my example the kids with disabilities, and hurting the regular students. This would not be able to work, if the parents are able to afford a better school then they should be allowed to go to that school, and black kids could still go to it. It is not fair to try and get the under dogs up a level, but having to bring the people on top down a notch, work from the bottom and bring everyone up with you.
