Of course, it could happen anywhere.......
Let's say there was a county in which a mob connected family ran the politics, and the big boss got to say who got a job and who didn't and who got adequate police protection and who didn't.
Let's say to stay on his good side, if you had a decent paying job, you had to send your kids to a private school. There was then more money to spend on the public school kids and they wound up voting for the party of the people running the county.
What if the students in the private schools were all a little black because they were from places like Italy, Ireland, the mountains of Germany, etc. and were led or tricked into blaming their less than stellar reception in society on racism instead of an amateur teaching staff who had been trapped by the party boss into their jobs and did not know how to reason well and did not convey anything but mob smugness and trickery and group spirit and an ethic that it's OK to cheat because they need to.
Then they lapped up the Affirmative Action jobs that were set aside for the truly oppressed and lent their full support to the party boss because he helped get them that favor.
They also considered their education light years ahead of public because they seemed smarter, but it was actually because the system only sends students to private school if their families are capable of keeping them on track and they were capable of learning without special, professional, trained help.
Let's say they might have outright abused certain kids but any teacher who either spoke out about it or perhaps tried to blackmail the administration about it got.....Chappaquiddick'ed.
