I tried removing incorrect information from the Wikipedia page for Central Arkansas Christian Schools. However, my edits were reversed. I have contacted the editor who suggested I take this action. Therefore, I would like to request a permanent deletion of invalid information be made from this page.
This Wikipedia article identifies Central Arkansas Christian Schools as a segregation academy. The source cited for this label is a NY Times article on Central High School (note - a completely different school) titled "Troubled Arkansas School Becomes Best in State" by Rone Tempest. The NY Times article states that Central Arkansas Christian School and Pulaski Academy were both established the same year as federally mandated busing was imposed in Arkansas. The author of this Wikipedia article is making a post hoc, ergo propter hoc argument that the school was founded as a result of the federal mandate; nevertheless, the label of segregation academy is not proved by this article, nor does the article even attempt to do so.
Additionally, the article states that, "By the 1980s, the school [Central Arkansas Christian School], which opened as part of the reaction to the integration of Little Rock Central High School, was, according to the Los Angeles Times, generally regarded as academically inferior to its desegregated public school counterpart.[5]" No where in the NY Times article does it state that Central Arkansas Christian School was seen as academically inferior. Additionally, the quote references that Central Arkansas Christian School was opened as part of a reaction to the integration of Little Rock Central High. If you will notice, the integration of Little Rock Central High School occurred in 1957, yet Central Arkansas Christian School did not open until 1972 - making it highly unlikely that the opening of Central Arkansas Christian School had anything to do with the Central High Crisis of 1957.
When my edits were reversed, I was told that Wikipedia is not censored. This change is not about censorship; it is about credibility and accuracy. As a college level English instructor, I encourage students when using Wikipedia to check out the citations. In fact, that is how this misinformation came to my attention. One thing I mention repeatedly is that just because there is a citation does not mean that citation is being used correctly. That appears to be the case here, and I hope this misinformation will be changed.
I have pdf copies of the source in question, "Troubled Arkansas School Becomes Best in State." Due to the copyright notice, I will not post them here. However, if I can provide them to you in some way so that you can verify the misuse of this source, please let me know how I can provide them.
Thanks for your attention.

Professor, certainly you realize that all an encyclopedia does is report on what others have written. So in short, no, we don't need to show the school refused to enroll minorities. You may have an arguement for not stating that in Wikipedia's voice, but unless you are disputing the reliability of the source, the fact that the source says it is a seg academy is enough for us to say that. If you'd choose to dispute the source's reliability, it's your burden to prove it. John from Idegon ( talk) 03:25, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
I've looked back at the LA times article. It does not explicitly compare CAC to LRCHS, but it does note that LRCHS is the "best in [the] state". The article also states that "when bussing was instituted" private academies like CAC "popped up like mushrooms". I think that the wording could be more precise, but that the cited content should remain. I'll also observe that I feel that this is a case where WP:Verifiability, not truth applies. — BillHPike ( talk, contribs) 04:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Central Arkansas Christian Schools (CAC) is a group of three private schools based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. CAC was established in 1971 at Sylvan Hills Church of Christ.1 Because of its foundation date, the school has been categorized as a segregation academy. The Central Arkansas School system includes a combination middle and high school campus in North Little Rock and two elementary schools: a campus in Pleasant Valley/Little Rock and a campus in North Little Rock. .[1] Together, they composed the state's fourth-largest combined private school for the 2018-19 school year.[2] The schools are “affiliated with (but not operated or owned by) by the Churches of Christ 3.
History Central Arkansas Christian School opened in 1971. Because of the timing of the school’s establishment, it has been categorized as a segregation academy, a term associated with private schools established in response to the court ordered racial integration of public schools.[4][5] Although categorized as a segregation academy, the “founders of the school repeatedly stated that admission was open to all regardless of race.” Additionally, black students were enrolled in the school as early as 1974.3, 4
