Segregated Schools on Al Franken

The past couple days, I’ve been at home in bed sick. Daytime TV being what it is, I checked through the movie channels. Going past the Sundance Channel, I noticed that Al Franken’s show was on. On a lark, I decided to actually watch a little. He had a guest on talking about segregation in schools. His contension was that we have school segregation today that is WORSE than was found in the 1960s. Sure, back in the 1960s, we had Democrat-run southern schools separated into black and white, but he pointed out that we have many schools in today’s society that are 99% or more black-only. When asked where these schools were located, he named four states.
New York, Illinois, Michigan, California.
Hmmmm. I wonder what else these states have in common. Maybe the answer can be found in the electoral maps.
