May 17, 1954 - In a major civil rights victory, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ruling "separate but equal" public education to be unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal treatment under the law.
The historic decision, bringing an end to federal tolerance of racial segregation, specifically dealt with Linda Brown, a young African American girl denied admission to her local elementary school in Topeka, Kansas, because of the color of her skin.

A major part of the Republican agenda (since ~1964) has been to restore racial segregation in education. It's why they talk about school choice and vouchers, why they defund public schools and work against teachers unions, why they support religious and private schools, and why they redraw district lines and enable school district secession.
And it's why Musk's agents are ending federal tracking of school performance. Soon it will be harder to report on school segregation or racially discriminatory funding, or win lawsuits to end those practices.

"The Impact of a Boston Desegregation Busing Program on Student Outcomes"
"The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program in Boston is a voluntary program for urban students and suburban school districts, that busses non-White students from Boston to wealthier, Whiter suburbs.
"Elizabeth Setren examines how participation in the METCO program affected students over the period 1991 through 2020.
"METCO students attend schools where a much higher percentage of the students plan to go to a four-year college than in the Boston public school system..
"Boston students who are bused to suburban school districts through the METCO school desegregation program have stronger academic and labor market outcomes than similar students who apply to be bussed but are not selected..
"At age 35, on average, students who were selected to participate in the METCO program make $16,250 more than those who applied to the program but were not selected from the waitlist."

@ProPublica
Thank you for reporting on the important topic of racial segregation in education. It's been going on for decades, but the strategies and landscape of it keep shifting, and it keeps impacting more people's lives. I hope you continue to investigate and report on it. It's critical knowledge for understanding party politics; doing something about it is essential to improving our nation; and more people need to be aware of it.

"As the federal courts repeatedly ruled against the South’s massive resistance, many white people pivoted to a new tactic, one that is lesser known and yet profoundly influences the Black Belt region today: They created a web of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of private schools to educate white children."

You're right, "school choice" and vouchers are policies that support the right's ongoing battle against Brown v. Board (1954). So is school district secession.And this seems like a good spot to share a great piece by Nikole Hannah-Jones (apologies for the paywall, don't know of a free place it's available)

@alfredo_liberal Since #charleskoch is attacking our potus now let’s remember that #BrownVBoard is what triggered him to hook up with racist economist James Buchanan & start the #rulingclass assault on freedom.

Across town from #LittleRock Central HS in September 1957, a young Jerry Jones joined a mob of white students trying to block Black students from integrating the school.
Yes, that Jerry Jones
