What will be an ideal response?
In the early years of desegregation, Caucasian families moved from the city to the suburbs to escape desegregated schools and enrolled their children in better-resourced public or private schools. Minority families, disproportionately poor, came to dominate urban neighborhoods. For example, many African American families live in poorer urban neighborhoods and consequently must send their children to less-desirable public schools. The inability for all students to attend schools characterized by quality instruction, extracurricular activities, and integrative support with family members is one form of structural discrimination and institutional racism that persists in the United States.
