It's been more than a half a century since the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling found that "separate but equal" has no place in U.S. public schools.
And yet, true racial equality in our education system is yet to materialize.
That's clear from the startling revelations in the latest Education Department report released Tuesday. Entitled the Civil Rights Data Collection, the survey is conducted biennially. This one surveyed 50 million students in 95,000 schools during the 2013-2014 school year.
It shows how much African-American and Latino students still lag in terms of opportunities.
The disparity "tears at the moral fabric of our nation," Education Secretary John B. King Jr. told reporters. "What sets the U.S. apart from any other country is the idea that opportunity is universal," he said. "These data show that we still fall far short of that ideal."

People make their own culture. They own it.
To say they suffer from their own culture is like saying I deserve help because I suffer from punching myself in the nose.
Here's an enormous hate fact: Race IS culture. The two can not be separated, as they are intertwined.
look at the FAMILIES
not the schools
it all happens in the HOME
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
libtards want to dilute the family and focus on the unionized, political payola UNIONS
DAMN that there ‘freedom’ stuff.............
It gets in Gummint’s way ALLL THE TIME!!
At my primary school there is a pre K room right next to us. Some of the kids are completely out of control. Zero home training. The teacher retired this year & is absolutely one of the best. It’s also a matter of young girls having kids they are not prepared for.
Monday I went to Head start to work on the computer in my friend’s room. She was helping me w/ new paperwork. As I was working a mother came in for an end of the year meeting. She had 5!!!!!!!!! loud kids, was wearing house shoes & had a 6th on the way. All paid for by you & me. Of course the kids were wild & had no books, drawing books or anything to keep them occupied. I almost cheered when they finally left. This is the reality in my district.
Many “gifted” students of color are put there merely to fill a quota.
An acquaintance in CA said his school picks blacks for GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) based on their clothing, in the belief that well-dressed black children are more likely to come from intact homes and thus perform better. It had nothing to do with test scores, ability, effort, or intellect.
The reason: every black student tested poorly and none were qualified to occupy a gifted slot, but hey, they still had a quota to fill, and fill it they did.
And if you come from a household wherein violence is a normal part of your day and is the preferred method of solving all conflicts, then you are going to transmit that behavior to your offspring.
It's called "culture".
What this article describes is not "discrimination" or "the rayciss", but rather the utter failure that is black culture.
Hundreds of billions of taxpayer money squandered and the only result to report from school integration, Headstart, and all the other social engineering programs is that Latino and black students have not been helped but white students have been harmed.
But the wasted money and worthless programs make the leftists feel good about themselves and that’s what counts, right?
In my schools, we had kids enroll from Mexico, Japan and Viet Nam. There was no special accomodations made for them.
They picked up the language quickly because of total immersion. The Vietnamese kids quickly rose to the top of the class. We found ourselves trying to keep up with kids who had to learn English in a hurry.
It’s cultural, not racial.
Most minorities self segregate. Especially blacks.
Thanks MinorityRepublican.
Some urban schools are dumping grounds, full of group home people, felons, people with ankle bracelets, and some homeless.
Check back in a million years.
What an idiot. It is the student, the parents, and teachers who determine success or failure.
