In particular, children who go to schools in low income neighborhoods don't get nearly the same quality of education as those in rich neighborhoods. Through no fault of their own, they experience de facto segregation and live "separate but equal." Despite Dallas's attempts to push for affordable housing in parts of Dallas that are serviced by Highland Park ISD, people there still refuse to see that they are participating in systemic racism and say that minorities are just too culturally "different" to be able to integrate.
