Is Your School Segregated At Lunch?

In our affinity group, some students shared how their schools often seem segregated in the cafeteria. It's nothing official, but informally, students seem to separate themselves by race. When I asked my group to raise their hands, about half of the group saw this at their school.

I brought up an event called Mix It Up!, which encourages people to sit somewhere different in the cafeteria. Check out the website for resources on how to set it up, including posters and publicity materials.

Have you done something at your school around this issue? Do you have any ideas for what else might work? Post your comments here.
