Experiencing Integration in Louisville: Attitudes on Choice and Diversity in a Changing Legal Environment / Orfield, Gary / Frankenberg, Erica -- Conclusion: A Theory of Choice with Equity / Orfield, Gary / Frankenberg, Erica -- References -- Contributors -- IndexThe first major battle over school choice came out of struggles over equalizing and integrating schools in the civil rights era, when it became apparent that choice could be either a serious barrier or a significant tool for reaching these goals. The second large and continuing movement for choice was part of the very different anti-government, individualistic, market-based movement of a more conservative period in which many of the lessons of that earlier period were forgotten, though choice was once again presented as the answer to racial inequality. This book brings civil rights back into the center of the debate and tries to move from doctrine to empirical research in exploring the many forms of choice and their very different consequences for equity in U.S. schools. Leading researchers conclude that although helping minority children remains a central justification for choice proponents, ignoring the essential civil rights dimensions of choice plans risks compounding rather than remedying racial inequality.Staff and educational development series.School choiceEducational equalizationafrican american.american school system.black students.charter schools.choice plans.choice programs.civil rights era.civil rights.communities.desegregation plans.education.empirical research.engaging.equity.family.integrating schools.life changes.market based movement.marriage.minority children.political science.political.politics.racial inequality.school choice.school settings.social hierarchy.social issues.sociology.students and schools.students and teachers.us schools.School choice.Educational equalization.379.26Orfield Gary, 1026638Orfield Gary1026638Frankenberg Erica1470862MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779362803321Educational delusions3848887UNINA
