    72% Black, for the curious. However, that doesn’t tell the full story of this school. It’s the Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center in Cleveland, a school complex that was built on the site of an old military base in the 70’s. It includes not only the high school and an arts magnet middle school, but also a career center for students from around Cleveland. There are many racist highways, but it’s far from clear that this is a case of that.

    I’m guessing that white children get to attend the minimum security school, while the rest get the supermax?

    Seriously, if your ideal is that all children get the “equal” schools I don’t even know that we can have a conversation. Get rid of both buildings. That’s the only “equal” worth striving for.

    I’m going to guess that it’s the same race that spent the money to have it built. Don’t confuse monetary inequality with racism. Racism exists because we point the finger at other races and say “You’re wrong.” Until we meet in the middle and see ourselves as one, we are all guilty of being wrong about our fellow man.
