"Housing Patterns Are Segregated": The Part of the Champaign School Crisis That Requires Action Beyond the School Board

C-U Demographics and Schools

In case you didn't hear it, National Public Radio's All Things Considered (heard locally on WILL AM580) had a report Sunday evening on the court case that one observor said may be "the last straw...in resegregating our society" in America. The US Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether the use of race as a factor in assigning students to schools to fight segregation is legal. This is the sort of system that the Champaign schools have been using as a way to satisfy court-ordered remedies for the results of racially skewed educational outcomes for black students.
