Brown at 50

In light of the elimination of busing to achieve racial integration and judicial reluctance to consider creative, new ways to provide integrated, high quality learning environments for poor and minority children, advocates of the principles established by Brown must no longer accept the public schools as the best hope for providing integrated schooling. Educators should seriously consider supporting Catholic schools as a viable option in effort to advance racial integration since absent immediate support, these models for integration might be lost for future generations.
