You mean Southern segregation academies advance the cause of segregation? Who could have known?
The movement has grown considerably as the “anti-discrimination against dominant white males” movement has grown, along with so-called vouchers, aka, state-subsidized private schools.

@[email protected] this is not a new phenomenon. I attended a private school in the mid-80’s, that was very proudly founded in 1969. It wasn’t until the late 2000’s when I heard somebody refer to another private school in the same region of TN, also founded in 1969, as a Segregation Academy that I realized why my school was founded when it was.
@[email protected] I believe the term should be referred to as “wealth segregation”
