School segregation still exists 70 years after Supreme Court ruling

But now, even decades later, there's still a lot of progress to be made. When the Brown vs. Board of Education decision came down, many believed all schools would finally be integrated. But that hasn't happened.
In the United States right now, almost half of Black and Hispanic students go to schools where all of their classmates are students of color. And schools with more than 90% students of color are five times more likely to be in low-income areas, research shows.
North Carolina schools appear to be going in the wrong direction. A study by N.C. State shows schools here are more segregated now than in the 1980s. Researchers behind the study say the state's voucher program for private schools and the recent growth in charter schools are largely to blame.
The North Carolina Association of Educators found white students received more than 60% of the state's private school vouchers last year even though they make up less than 40% of the population in schools statewide. #Education #Politics #News
