School segregation thrives in America’s most liberal cities
<p>According to a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/180n6-7DcPooWAdW9-VOxYjzA7d8uvYOj/view" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">newly released report</a>, only 10% of admissions offers to New York City’s most elite public high schools went to Black and Latino students this year. This does not come close to reflecting the overall population of the NYC public school system, which is 67% Black or Latino.</p>
<p>Diversity is good for student outcomes, yet schools continually choose the opposite. When Black children attend the same schools as White children. Black children perform <a href="https://www.epi.org/publication/schools-are-still-segregated-and-black-children-are-paying-a-price/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">significantly better</a> on standardized math and reading tests. Diverse school settings also <a href="https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/metrocenter/separate-and-unequal-comparison-student-outcomes-new-york-citys-most-and-least-diverse" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">improve graduation rates</a> for both White and Black students.</p>
<p>So why do schools continually choose segregation over education?</p>
