New York City's Schools Are Among America's Most Segregated

The New York Sun reports:

Fifty years after Rosa Parks struck a blow for integration by refusing to get up from her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., some of the most racially segregated schools in America are in New York City, an author claims in a new book on education - and voices across the political spectrum say he has a point.

In his new book, "The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America," author Jonathan Kozol compares segregation in New York City schools to apartheid. He says that schools he visited in the Bronx are still as "deeply segregated" as they were three decades ago. Mr. Kozol quotes one teacher at P.S. 65 in the South Bronx who said, "I've been at this school for 18 years. This is the first white student I have ever taught."

According to a study he cites by the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University, New York is the most segregated state in the country for black students.

Great moments in the post-Brown vs.Board of Education world.How come "progressive" New York city is so segregated?? Are they racists? Don't white rich people who live on Park Avenue want to send their kids to the NYC public schools?
