Literally any article containing demographics has them in their own section and not in the main description of the article. 97.112.217.211 (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is true, but I am certain there is no policy or guideline that would prohibit it. And...most articles are not about schools which were established for the reason of keeping White kids safe from having any contact with Black kids. Many of these schools would like to pretend today that there was nothing segregationist about their founding, and many of them have admitted a number of Black students. Flint River still hasn't performed any meaningful integration. They still brag on their website that their school was opened with a speech by famed segregationist Lester Maddox. It appears from your edits that you have some connection to this school. If so, I would encourage you to promote equality rather than just try to cover up the situation. If you could change attitudes of the old-guard racists, you could do a great deed for Flint River Academy and the state of Georgia. Cheers! — Jacona (talk) 23:35, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jacona raises a point related to Wikipedia policy and the introduction. Rather than a demographics section, the article may wind up with a section about the segregationist history of the school—at which point, a sentence in the introduction about the history and current racial makeup would be appropriate, since the introduction should summarize key points of the article. —C.Fred (talk) 00:46, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
C.Fred, I agree. As a start, I have added a demographics section. The history section briefly discusses the school’s founding as a segregation academy, but it could use expansion and the demographics rolled into it. — Jacona (talk) 00:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
