When Green Meets Red and Red Meets Blue

Even though segregation has been outlawed, there still has been signs of it in schools and classes throughout the U.S. Nowadays though, children aren’t separated by race entirely, but by personality and interests. In classes you see a group of friends bunched up together discussing things not relevant to class material. During non-class time, kids are still hanging out with the same people based on their common interests. This doesn’t seem so bad and I’m not saying kids shouldn’t have a set of friends, but hanging out with the same people can cause kids to be closed minded. Personally I feel like the more people I met and became friends with, the more I my mind thought about different things. If students don’t all connect with each other, they may not learn about important, useful, and/or interesting things that they never thought of. This relates to segregation by race because I’m 100% sure both colored and white children could’ve learned a multitude of thing from each other that would’ve benefited everyone involved if all races went to the same schools.
