An Op-Ed on TomPaine.com, Alan Jenkins reminds us:
"While the court is considering specific policies, the underlying constitutional question is what, if anything, communities around the country can do to promote inclusion and prepare our kids for the future. Our nation’s schools are increasingly segregated by race, even as the nation itself becomes more diverse. More and more parents, teachers and community leaders are realizing that kids educated in segregated settings are simply unprepared to function in diverse workplaces, universities, and communities."
