Blatant Racism

It won't take long, by looking at the following photos (student faces have been obscured to protect the privacy of the students), from the Lomitas Elementary School Year Book, that there is something VERY wrong with the way classes were created there! Double click on each photo to see a full size view of each one.

White Classes

A closer view of these photos will show that just TWO CHILDREN, out of all of those listed below, are African-American. The actual yearbook seems to indicate that these children are brother and sister, no less!

Segregated Classes

Even a cursory glance at the following pictures will show that there appear to be at least SEVENTEEN CHILDREN in these classes that are African-American! See if you can determine how many Asian American, Hispanic, and other groups are listed in the classes below - certainly that figure will also be MUCH greater than the classes shown above. Furthermore, readers will note that, unlike the class pictures listed above, the rate of movement in and out of these classes was much greater - students listed at the bottom of each class photo moved in sometime after the beginning of the school year. It is also important to note that there were otehr students who moved in and later moved out that are not listed.

• Special Education Students are Identified by Picture and Name in the Lomitas Elementary School Year Book! Could this be ILLEGAL?
