Many critics who want to separate the school district are in favor of neighborhood schools. It all started when a user on Twitter tweeted at the school system, saying that there should be two school systems in Wake County because different areas in the county could have different weather conditions during inclement weather.
In the thread, the school system responded and gave examples as to why the school system is countywide, including points about diversity and segregation, which referenced an article from The New York Times magazine reporter and UNC alumna Nikole Hannah Jones.
