SCISA schools


Jun 9, 2020, 9:15 AM

If people want to attack schools on the basis of racism, maybe they should go after the SCISA schools, which were established in the mid 60s in direct response to desegregation. Most (if not all) were originally named after military figures or politicians; many have been renamed, but their roots remain the same.

Clemson University has nothing to do with slavery; it was established nearly 25 years after slavery became illegal.

It's hard to know what point you're trying to make. Defend Clemson or throw SCISA schools under the bus? Seems like you could do the former without doing the latter.

The "private" school in my hometown was thrown together from the ground up in six months when I was entering 10th grade, pretty much so that four rich kids could be spared the "horrors" of integration. The joke was on those parents though, as one of those kids hated it so much he came back to our public school, and graduated with the rest of us country peons.

Or maybe we could just leave off with race-baiting and needless attacks altogether.

BTW, my SCISA alma mater was named after an officer in the Revolutionary War who later served as the Lt. Gov. of SC and then 11 years in the US House of Representatives.
