On some threads of this forum, there are from time to time some conversations about racial mix in schools in Britain… some white British parents being worried of choosing a school with ‘too many’ ethnic minorities.

Though not about schools nor about the UK , I found this article commemorating an action done by a brave girl less than 20 years ago in the US very uplifting…

It's one of the reasons I like Burnham Grammar in Bucks, although I sometimes suspect that it may be one of the reasons it is less popular in some communities that could send their children there.
