"More than six decades after Brown v. Board, America's schools remain deeply segregated."

Despite the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education to desegregate schools, segregation in American education remains a pervasive issue. This is a reminder of how economic, residential, and policy factors continue to create racially homogeneous schools across the country. Disparities in school funding, often tied to property taxes, result in uneven resource distribution, with schools in minority neighborhoods often receiving less funding. Additionally, practices like “school choice,” zoning laws, and the rise of charter schools have, in many cases, exacerbated segregation. The lack of diversity in schools has profound effects on student outcomes, limiting access to high-quality education and perpetuating cycles of disadvantage. Understanding the mechanisms that maintain school segregation is essential to advocating for equitable education policies and creating truly inclusive learning environments.
