The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America
- Synopsis
-
The author of Savage Inequalities argues that US schools are now more segregated than when the Supreme Court made its landmark Brown v. Board of Education desegregation ruling (1954). This veteran activist researcher traces the roots of the problem, faults efficiency models such as the No Child Left Behind Act, and supports a constitutional amendment making education a fundamental right. This provocative treatment finds a glimmer of hope in a district's rejection of quick-fix remedial programs. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
