The segregation argument was used in an American city that started a school strictly for homeless kids. The state threatened to shut it down for moving homeless children to their own school, claiming it would stigmatize them. The city pointed out that homeless children are more stigmatized in regular schools, and that by creating a seperate system for them they could attend their needs better. Plus there was castigtaion amongst homeless kids for being homeless. If I can find a link for it I'll post it.
CYA note: I am not trying to equate being black with being homeless in this comment! Heddin'm' off at th' pass...
PS - Will there be a job opening where the offical title is "Nice White Lady"? :)
