The New Rise of Segregated Schools
After half a century, America's efforts to end segregation seem to be winding down. In the years after Brown v. Board of Education, 755 school districts were under desegregation orders. A new Stanford study reports that as of 2009, that number had dropped to as few as 268.
The study is the first to take a comprehensive look at whether court-ordered busing successfully ended the legacy of Jim Crow in public education, and it suggests a mission that is far from accomplished. On average, those districts that stopped forcing schools to mix students by race have seen a gradual but steady--and significant--return of racial isolation, especially at the elementary level.
It's unclear what effect school "re-segregation" will have on minority achievement, though a large body of research suggests it certainly won't help efforts to improve test scores, graduation rates, and college entry levels for blacks and Hispanics, a growing share of the American population. But the retreat from desegregation also suggests the policy had significant flaws, problems current education reformers should pay attention to.
The hope behind desegregation was that it would bring together white and black children to learn with, and from, each other, and end the disparities that blacks suffered under legal segregation like hand-me-down textbooks, decrepit buildings, lower-paid teachers, and, of course, lagging achievement. In the three decades following Brown v. Board of Education, courts ordered districts to create elaborate student assignment plans (often dependent on forced busing) to mix black, Hispanic, and white students together in the same schools. Most school boards complied reluctantly, and parents in places like Boston reacted violently.

a white kid in minority majority school your race would be an issue with many everyday. But you are correct, I did not suspect that you really support racial segregation. I honestly believe that we have reached the stage where nothing short of racial integration in public education on a massive scale will save this republic from plutocratic despotism. The corporatists know this too, and that is exactly why their media and political machine has been pushing education reform or more accurately resegregation since passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and especially the Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education decision of 1971. If we aim to make it we should strive for a future where most of us are grey or the color of caramel or oatmeal, have kinky copper hair, a variety of odd noses and slanted amber eyes. 
I remember going to an all white high school in California. We were only 15 miles from Oakland, CA which had many all black schools. The education was definitely biased because the teachers at each school may have had different attitudes or goals concerning teaching their students. We did have a few minorities that were treated as equals or better. I also developed a very liberal and equal thought practice. I know money spent to educate will always be a big factor or how much funds will be utilized to teach students. I am glad my parents moved to the community were I received a great education. I don't think there are to many people then or now who could ensure their children will be provided an education which will ensure they can have a better life.
