Its also worth noting that in many "diverse" areas of the country, schools are still segregated anyway. Because we all learned pretty quick that we couldn't get along, and that segregation was the only way to avoid active violence and bloodshed. Just instead of putting it into law, school districts were drawn around the already segregated neighborhoods.
And I can tell you with experience that it wasn't those super racist whites who made it so unlivable that segregating back out was the only option.
