Well, some schools are already implementing things like black graduations. Many diversity trainings force people to remain in or leave the room based on race. So sadly, I wouldn't be surprised either.

Theoretical question. Why is voluntary segregation a bad thing? Consider seriously if we allowed everyone to create single race schools and neighborhoods. Let’s each choose how they want to live and govern. So long as they have equal access to resources, separation should not matter, only the actions of the separated people.

Because everyone who doesn't like the consequences of their decisions will blame everyone else. They might even be right, but it could/would increase conflict. Boundaries are frequently decided via violence.
