Perspectives: Abandoning Brown and ‘[Race]ing’ Backwards on K-12 Education

by Leonard M. Baynes , July 19, 2007

Categories:

It is also likely to dissuade school districts from pursuing race-conscious policies. And unfortunately, it is likely to cause the further resegregation of our K-12 school systems.

--Leonard M. Baynes is a professor of law and director of The Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development at St. John’s University School of Law.
