20: Separate but Equal
Modern School Segregation, Austin NIMBYism and Forced Integration
Current data suggests American schools are as segregated today as they were in the 1950s and 60s, with white students attending majority-white schools and black students attending schools primarily composed of students of color. The hosts discuss the "Not In My Backyard" (NIMBY) attitude in liberal cities like Austin, Texas. An analogy is drawn between forced school integration and the installation of bike lanes, suggesting that forced coexistence without cultural learning often fails.
