[[Woodrow Wilson]], the second Democrat president after the [[Civil War]], introduced segregation into the United States government [[Civil service system|Civil Service]], requiring separate bathrooms and cafeterias in federal buildings and installations throughout the land, including Northern and Western states which had fought for the Union and existed without laws requiring segregation of the races. US [[military]] training and units also were segregated.

Segregation was allowed in public schools by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in [[Plessy v.

[[Antifa]] and [[Black Lives Matter]], both of which claim to be "anti-racist" but are both supported by the Democrat Party, have continued the Democrats' racist and segregationist history by creating race-segregated community gardens as part of the "[[Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone]]", the part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in [[Seattle]] illegally seized and occupied by both groups as part of the [[2020 Antifa riots]] in that city.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/updates-antifa-stan-chaz-builds-border-wall-reportedly-deports-mexican-establishes-segregated-gardens/ UPDATES From Antifa-stan: CHAZ Builds Border Wall, Establishes Segregated Gardens, Reportedly Deports Mexican] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>

In 1975, Sen. [[Joseph Biden]], later [[Vice President of the United States of America|vice-president]] and [[President Obama]]'s token segregationist, proposed an amendment that gutted Title VI of the [[1964 Civil Rights Act]], which enabled the federal government to cut off funding to school districts that refused to integrate.

A Boston NAACP leader said, “An anti-busing amendment is an anti-desegregation amendment, and an anti-desegregation amendment is an anti-black amendment.” Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be directly elected, called Biden’s amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

Under [[Joe Biden]], segregation in schools reappeared in America.<ref>https://redstate.com/kiradavis/2021/08/11/atlanta-mother-shocked-to-discover-childs-elementary-school-segregating-classes-by-race-n424417</ref> A black [[Atlanta]] mother, Kira Posey,<ref>https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2021/08/11/elementary-school-allegedly-created-black-classes-to-segregate-students-one-parent-is-fighting-back/#</ref> filed a complaint to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) after learning her daughter and 11 other black students were segregated by race into “black classes” in separate classrooms at the Mary Lin Elementary School in [[Atlanta]].<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/08/11/black-atlanta-mother-files-suit-against-principal-for-separating-students-by-race-1116823/</ref>
Posey who, according to the ''Atlanta Black Star'',<ref>https://atlantablackstar.com/2021/08/10/it-was-just-disbelief-parent-files-complaint-against-atlanta-elementary-school-after-learning-the-principal-segregated-students-based-on-race/</ref> is vice president of operations for the parent-teacher association, described her disgust with the policy, “First, it was just disbelief that I was having this conversation in 2020 with a person that looks just like me — a black woman. It’s segregating classrooms. You cannot segregate classrooms. You can’t do it.”
The move meant black students were placed in two separate classrooms with two separate teachers. White students, however, were placed in six classrooms with six different teachers. Posey said she discovered the unfair practice when she asked if her daughter could be placed in a classroom with an instructor she preferred.
Principal Sharyn Briscoe was responsible for the decision to segregate students. Taylor Penley of the ''Western Journal'' asked, "Is this what constitutes progressive to the American left? It’s safe to say that implementing a Jim Crow-era policy is exactly the opposite — regressive, if you will. As mystifying as it is to witness such a flawed practice coming back into play, should we really be shocked? Some aspects of the past are unthinkable to us now — slavery and segregation rank among them."<ref>https://flagandcross.com/parents-outraged-after-black-principal-segregates-students-based-on-race-report/</ref>
