Featured in this issue is an extensive report on the resegregation of U.S. schools, written by Gary Orfield of the Harvard Civil Rights Project. Half a century after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregated schools are inherently unequal, Orfield finds that schools in this country became far more segregated during the 1990s, and the problem is getting worse. "Among our school age population we have only a generation before the entire country becomes majority non-white or non-European in origin," Orfield says. "Yet our schools remain largely segregated and are becoming more so." Also featured in the new issue: -- "Choice" and Other White Lies: A black journalist reflects on her personal experiences with school integration in the mid-'60s and explains why vouchers won't work. -- The Voucher Money Man: Without the millions of dollars guided into vouchers by Michael Joyce, vouchers would most likely not exist in Wisconsin. -- Bamboozled by the Texas Miracle: Texas is the model for President BushÃs education agenda. A Texas teacher explains why U.S. classrooms may never be the same, and not in a good way.
