Inclusion, Segregation, Desintegration?
In brief, for many of the participants it was clear that they viewed the issue of educational placement as an either/or issue: a child is either segragated or included. Given the wide range of educational strategies available, I will not waste anyone's time arguing that these terms are massive generalizations...there are no absolutes in life, and that is certainly true in the case of educational programming.

Over worked and under paid, but that's not the problem!
You want better education for your children? Then please do NOT be deceived by the Republican Party and the Christian Coalition who want us to accept a pay raise while they busily segregate our upper echelon kids away to private schools and think we'll be happy. It's all about them not wanting their kids mixed with the less fortunate kids. It's a pay off, my friend, not a pay raise. It's not the money that will make us better teachers and it's not whether you teach in a private school or a public school. It's how much responsibility we ALL choose to bear from birth through-out graduation.

Dance and Ethnomusicology (II of II)
When they consent to participate in a particular dance, dancers consent to occupy a particular role, even if only temporarily. They agree to engage in a kinesthetic dialogue with others in an “as-if” capacity, knitting themselves together “as if” part of a cooperative work group, linking arms “as if” part of a protective romantic dyad, and clapping hands across backs “as if” they were the closest of comrades. This is particularly true of folk dancing, where emphasis is often more on the participatory aspects of dancing than on its public performance before an audience.

Jim Crow and More: Delays in Effective Emancipation for Blacks
Near the end of the 19th century, some black Americans were advancing out of the practical slavery of sharecropping. More blacks were learning to read and write and were learning trades that made it possible for them to become skilled and valuable laborers able to market their skills. Sharecropping was failing as a system to keep blacks as a whole in what was regarded as their proper place by some whites. Where the agricultural economy was failing some whites determined to use the law to prevent the advancement of their black neighbors.
