Most “Christian” schools in the south were founded by wealthy whites to keep their kids away from black.
I know most of my aunts/uncles were sent to one for that exact reason when schools were forced to integrate. Even while the school was 30-40 minutes away.
As the article said, they are usually worse than public schools. I got a much better education at a public school then when I was at a private “Christian” one, which is saying a lot for the rural south.
Are these schools as academically rigorous as the Catholic Prep Schools, the mainline protestant schools, and the old old school elite academies ?
