Explanation

We needs to very careful about using the term “segregation academy”, since it can be seen as a slur. In general, we only use the term if a reliable source desribes the school as such. For The Ensworth School, the citation did not specifically describe the school as a segregation academy, so we should say so in the article. If we can find a source that says the school was a seg academy, we can add the fact to the article.

Discrimination is underrepresented topic on Wikipedia, so I hope you will stick around and help expand more articles. Billhpike (talk) 00:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
