Talk:Carver High School (Phoenix, Arizona)

Misstatements Abound
This article appears to have been written by a graduate of an “inferior “ high school. It contains serious misstatements, especially in the “Integration” section.

If Daniels and Simms argued that the white high schools were superior, they may not have been arguing for the abolition of segregation, but for the enforcement of the “equal” prong of the “separate but equal” doctrine. Yet, they could not have been talking about Carver High School, because, later, in the article, we are informed that Carver, under the leadership of Robinson, an excellent school except for some (unspecified) problem with its microscopes.

Prior to 1951, segregation was mandatory in Arizona elementary schools, but optional in high schools. In that year, the Arizona Legislature amended the law to make segregation optional in all schools. Other parts of the country never practice school segregation in any form.

The article is also wrong to suggest that the country rolled over and integrated following the decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Schools were not fully desegregated until 1970.

Also, a ruling on May 5, 1954, was 12 days before Brown v. Board of Education, not 9.

Further, plays are performed, not shown.
