Why are schools in the U.S. still racially segregated?

Schools in the United States are racially segregated in practice despite more than 65 years of legal precedent outlawing segregation through policy. The causes for school segregation have evolved, but the problem remains. The University of Kansas' research investigates different geographic contexts to understand why. Their goal is to determine policy solutions in the United States that will end the practice of providing separate and unequal education to children from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Well, if you are going to keep forcing standardized tests and unregulated bullying, I can see why people want to split. American schools are cesspools.

I don't think integration is working

Inspiring to see people go against to the grain of society for the sake of their children's future.

I'm afraid that in cities, neighborhoods are practically segregated by ethnicity.
The normal process of communities blending as every day routines and lives make it happen, was disrupted by culture wars and political agendas of reviving the tribal embroil.
Race and ethnicity are the most obvious and easy differences to be exploited for this agenda.

Is not racial segregation, this is a conseguence. It is all about money and economic segregation. About catchments and housing. $$ black and brown people have less $ and live in diferent neighborhoods

As an immigrant and a Latino who moved to the US when I was 12 years old, I can see why White people and upper class people do not want their children to go to public schools, specially ones with higher ratios of Latinos and African Americans, in my case, I went to 3 separate public schools here in the US, with lots of black and Hispanic kids, and most of the problems and violence I experienced came from the black and Hispanic kids, and this was back in the 90s, my guess is that not much has changed today since kids like to record their antics and put them on YouTube, I see lots of videos of the usual suspects still causing trouble today, I do not think it's a segregation issue any more and more of a cultural issue, change needs to start at home.

Because the democrats never gave up on plantations

Because government funded schools give support and resources to schools with higher population and test scores. If you want to decrease segregation within schools, eliminate the public education system gradually by giving tax cuts and stipends to families to enroll their children into private schools that actually focus on the students talents or passions as well as basic life requirements instead of packing them in generalized classes with barely any time to learn what they need to actually learn or what they want to learn and also filling their heads with topics that were rushed out in order to meet the deadline for a standardized test that only serves to gage how much they remember instead of what they actually know.

Equal access to education? Why, let's rename all universities to "Harvard" and all people be happy RIGHT?!

My school wasn't racially segregated when I went!
