Are Intramurals the Answer?

Our high school was theoretically integrated too, with no majority race or economic class. But the tendency was to hang out with kids like you. My younger son had a much more integrated group of friends than his older brother, partly because he hung out with the music kids. He played in two orchestras, and his best friend had a rock band whose leader singer was black and lead guitarist was Indian-American.

Thanks to him I heard a lot of stories about how differently he was treated by the local police depending on just which friends he was hanging out with.

I am not a fan of affinity housing, though I do understand its attraction. I went to an all-girls high school and I know just what the positives of that kind of segregation are.
