I disagree with your assessment, and your reasoning for reversion is ambiguous, at best.
That said, in isolation/without context, the edit I made is potentially incomplete as part of a broader discussion about Mr. Quinn.
That said, I think that elaboration and broader context needs to be added, and soon. Thanks for your reply.

Gould, Arkansas
editIn response to your edit caption at Gould, Arkansas, in which you stated: "Description of 'segregation academy' is redundant (already mentions 'backlash') and unnecessarily inflammatory and speculative as it is impossible to know the exact intent of the establishment of that particular institution"... In this case it is possible to know the exact intent of the establishment of that particular institution, because there were hundreds of newspaper articles around the country about Gould, it's education system's "Freedom of Choice plan" being declared discriminatory by the US Supreme Court, the refusal of White students to attend the integrated schools when they opened September 2, 1968, instead waiting until October 1 to attend their brand-new, unaccredited, whites-only Southeast Academy. This is one case where we know without a doubt that it was founded purely for racial segregation. — Jacona (talk) 19:36, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- You're still relying on second-hand observations and opinions from a myriad of outsiders, namely in the press, as the basis for this statement. Their conclusion may be reasonable and/or defensible given the facts (and I definitely would not go so far as to say that they are, or were, "wrong"), and they reported it as such, but I stand by my assertion that it is impossible to know the exact motivations (inability to read minds and such) behind those responsible for creating the institution, especially when applied to the collective view of a group of individuals.
- Regardless of that, I notice that you skipped right past addressing the issue of it being redundant and inflammatory. It's telling that you're willing to put so much effort into detailing the story of an institution in a town of fewer than 2,000 people in rural Arkansas that was created in 1968 and had disappeared by 1975. Kudos on such outstanding historical sleuthing. 173.218.150.71 (talk) 02:44, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
