Report: Schools "Re-Segregating."

Kimberly Shannon writes at the Education Week (9/21) "Inside School Research" blog that according to a new report from the Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles at UCLA, "the nation's public schools have experienced dramatic re-segregation over the past two decades, a trend that is 'systematically linked to unequal educational opportunities' for minority students." Noting that the organization based its research on ED data, the article describes the changes in US schools in recent decades, adding that the "report offers a list of recommendations for reversing the current trend: making the public aware of the re-segregation trends; promoting diverse schools as highly desirable places to learn; enforcing laws that would encourage desegregation; renewing government policies that assist with integration; and creating regional magnet schools and regional pro-integration transfer programs."
