  1. you only hurting yourslef if you cheat!!


  2. well people werent getting an education so i spose that employment went down--but this is just a guess im prbly wayyy off

  3. first of all we don't all hate history. I am in school to be a history major. I love history.

    Why do you think it was a problem? White people had control and when it was ordered to allow blacks in school they had to use military action to enforce it because in one case, the governor wouldn't allow it.

  4. because whites didn't want to be in school with the blacks.  the biggest fear was interracial relationship go to http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive...

  5. In the 1950s, the Supreme Court ruled that the segregation of schools in America was to become illegal because of the inequality of the facilities. Desegregation had to take place immediately, which meant that the white and black children had equal and fair rights in education. He process of desegregation failed and caused major problems throughout the 1950s. One of the Long-term reasons for the problems was the American Civil War from1860-65. Black children in Southern states had previously not attended school because they were slaves and did not own the rights to an education. President Lincoln was all for destroying slavery and for a time; southern blacks enjoyed their equality. They could do this because at the time the north ruled the southern states, but that soon changed.

  6. It became a problem because most of America was still socially segregated. Whites still didn't  like blacks, and blacks held a great resentment towards whites for past injustices.

    the government forcing to coexist was the best idea for everybody, as many people still wanted to keep the races seperate.

  7. Well we had kids being bussed over from different districts just to integrate the schools. that created problems for kids having to go to new schools that were not close to their home.

  8. Because the black were considered inferior in everything even in schools...

  9. It was problems with Vampires in the dark evenings.

  10. ya really need to do your own homework, you could have just typed in deseg in schools and read about it, then written your own answer--don't cheat--it just makes you dumb.

  11. I dunno for sure but I'd say bullying might occur, maybe some racist people wouldn't approve and would cause problems eg. riots/protests.. not really sure!

  12. Desegregation of schools ment that black students could go to the same schools and white students. Many white students didn't like this and treated the black students badly. THere was a lot of violence as a result.

  13. Desegregation is a very complex and politicial issue.  Each book you read on the subject is going to have its own bias, views, etc.  I live in Kansas myself, and we are the state that ended segregation in the schools (Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education).  To answer your question, I think you need to be more specific about your location instead of just asking about the USA in general.  Also, it sounds like your homework is asking you a question that is very specific to the State Approved Curriculum of where you live, and it's what they want you to learn.

    Some problems from Desegragation:  

    -Economic issues and costs due to shipping students from out of area to inner-city schools.

    -Microcultural problems mixing populations from different regions (suburban vs. innercity)

    -Quality of education for students sent to "poor" school districts

    -Inequality of education for students sent to "poor" or under-performing school districts

    -The age old argument of rights violations:  Who's rights do we violate?  Do we violate the rights of the minorities that are segregated from schools, or do we violate the rights of people by desegregating schools and forcing them to attend school where they don't want to attend?  The Kansas City Missouri School District is a great example of the destructive power of the Desegregation Program.

    Personally, I believe segregation is wrong (it always has been wrong), but at the same time, desegregation (in the manner that it was defined, applied, and used in the USA) is also wrong.  People should have just been forced to attend school where they live, no matter what they looked like.  There should never have been a denial of education, and there should never have been the busing of kids from the suburbs to the innercity either.  If you live next door to a school, that's the school you should be going to; black, white, purple, green, or otherwise.

    Private schools and the rights to that is another issue, but it is one of the few enviroments segregation is still preserved in the education systems.

  14. The generalized, most commonly accepted, answer, is that the desegregation of schools became a major problem in the U.S.A. is because the first places that offered desegregated schools were in places with the least amount of racial tolerance. As people began to notice that the "desegregated" communities were fighting change, "non-desegregated" schools set more difficult barriers in place to halt their communities from adopting change altogether. Which added unwanted complication to an already complicated process.
