Description
Introduction Fifty years after the U.S. Supreme Court held in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, (1) that state-sanctioned racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional the children in America's urban school districts continue to attend schools that predominantly are racially-isolated. In Minneapolis, the student profile is in stark contrast with the racial demographic of the city's residents. Where 86% of the population is white, 70% of the school children are of color. Approximately ninety languages are spoken in Minneapolis classrooms and nearly 30% reside in homes where English is not spoken. (2) Within this context, desegregation, as it is traditionally defined, is as conceptually anachronistic as it is impossible to achieve.
