What are the two main reasons why public schools have partially resegregated in recent years? Do you find this trend troubling? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


An ideal response will:
1, Outline the two reasons why public schools have resegregated. The first is that courts have been lifting orders mandating proactive school integration policies, such as school busing. The second is that de factosegregation in residential neighborhoods yields a fairly homogenous population from which schools draw.
2, Evaluate whether this resegregation is problematic. Answers will vary, but most should discuss the advantages of diversity or the disadvantages of programs that treat people differently according to race.
