For ppl listening to @serial& #39;s #NiceWhiteParents, new research on this general topic that you might be interested in.
@bethfryMPA found that white families are opting out of diverse schools on the east side of Cleveland at rates up to 85%. 1/6 https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2020/07/15/alarming-white-opt-out-rates-have-left-eastside-suburban-schools-segregated-at-levels-not-seen-since-the-1960s">https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and...

In the Cleveland study, white families used choice to segregate, esp the state& #39;s voucher program.
Same is true in another recent study that I tweeted about recently. In both, race seemed to matter at least as much as perceptions of school quality. 2/6 https://twitter.com/PeterTPiazza/status/1276877951024291840">https://twitter.com/PeterTPia...

White families have been using choice to opt out of school integration since the literal "massive resistance" efforts of the post-Brown era created voucher funded segregation academies.
It& #39;s obviously troubling, but there are reasons for hope. 3/6 http://theweeklychallenger.com/why-the-racist-history-of-school-vouchers-matters-today/">https://theweeklychallenger.com/why-the-r...

Surveys of parents found that they want integration for their children.
Researchers note that doesn& #39;t pan out, partly due to misinformation (ie, test scores). This article makes args for integration that closely align w/ work done @integratedschls. 4/6 https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/how-to-make-american-schools-less-segregated/">https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/s...

There& #39;s a consistent message in a @psu_civilrights report I co-wrote w/ @Edu_Historian @ImRachelWhite & @ashleyjcarey.
Test scores capture demographics, more than actual school quality, pushing white &/or affluent families away from diverse schls. 5/6

I know #NiceWhiteParents addresses more than this. As argued by @integratedschls, the way we (as white parents) show up matters A LOT.
Over-reliance on tests, tho, are a barrier to showing up at all. So, seems like a good place to begin taking down the walls that separate. 6/6
