Today is the 59th Anniversary of the decision that outlawed the doctrine of "separate but equal" in public school in the United States. The question remains...how far have we come? Are school districts across this country truly moving towards equality? Do largely white suburban communities afford the same educational opportunities as do largely minority inner city schools? Does every American student in this country grow up with the ability to be whatever he or she wants to be? Should we use today to celebrate our progress or remind ourselves how much further we still have to go?
For more on inequality in public schools, I highly recommend the following works by Jonathan Kozol.
