Schools can take steps to increase student racial diversity--but sometimes putting policies into practice is more complicated than it should be.Today on the podcast we’re bringing you a special preview chapter from Robert Kim’s new audiobook Elevating Equity and Justice: Ten U.S. Supreme Court Cases Every Teacher Should Know. Bob is a former civil rights attorney, and is a leading expert in education law and policy. In this excerpt, Bob reads from the third chapter of his book, which details Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, a 2007 case that highlights how some conscious racial-integration plans could actually be a violation of the 14th amendment. It also draws attention to the growing racial segregation among schools in the U.S., and the desperate need for creative solutions. Learn more about the audiobook version of Elevating Equity and Justice.© Heinemann Publishing 2020See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
