A lawsuit filed last week calls for the desegregation of New Jersey schools, a potentially game-changing legal challenge for minority students across the state.
But how segregated are the state's schools?
Just 0.3 percent of the more than 6,700 students in Irvington Public Schools are white, making it the most non-white school district in the state, according to data from the nonprofit Center on Diversity and Equality in Education
And that's far from the only example of students of color being isolated.
About 66 percent of New Jersey's African American students and 62 percent of its Latino students attend schools that are more than 75 percent non-white, according to the lawsuit.
While the segregation is not mandatory -- it stems from affordable housing issues and the high correlation between race and socioeconomic status -- the lawsuit argues de facto segregation is unconstitutional in New Jersey based on prior state Supreme Court rulings.

it also has to do with the disregard for immigration laws....schools have to accept students who live in the district, regardless of whether or not they are illegal...illegal immigration is destroying school systems around the nation..
They need to check their black privilege
In the mid/late 70s I was bussed from my neighborhood white elementary school in NJ to a 50/50 white/black elementary school. We moved to a neighboring county (99.9 percent white) about 6 months after that happened.
How come no forced desegregation with the NBA?
How about making these towns attractive for whites to move in. Oh, wait, that would be gentrification which is racists. Never mind.
They’d have to bus a long way.
Irvington is a small city/town next to Newark. I don’t think there’s any mostly white neighborhoods for maybe 10 or 15 miles.
So, if busing the students out is impractical, what are they going to do? Bus white students in from the distant suburbs? Or just ask for mo’ money for special compensatory programs?
The court can’t fix a major regional self-segregation of the population.
Convince white people to abort their young, import people of color, and then bitch and moan about no white people.
“Didn’t go to the article, but would bet the school performance as a function of majority population was not mentioned.”
Ask a Democrat or a teacher’s Union leader why Asian kids thrive in the very SAME schools that Blacks and Hispanics fail enmass in. After they stop calling you a racist, try to get them to answer.
Suck it up NJ Libtards. Get the popcorn ready.
Good. They have the schools, and the tax dollars, to themselves. Let them show us all how marvelous they can make things when “whitey” gets out of the way.
If busing’so out, it’s a cash grab.
Just in time for the 2018 elections. Keep it up and even more white people will walk away from the Democrat party.
That’s understandable.
Everybody knows you can’t learn anything in government schools unless you’re seated next to a white child.
They did it to us in the ‘70s.
THANKS TEDDY!
These articles always leave out the relevant stat that blacks are just 12% or less of the population. Hispanics? Doesn’t matter because they are not as aggrieved and usually do not like being part in black drOven integration. So maybe, after factoring in whites having more private and home schooled kids, blacks would be about 1 in 12 of a perfectly balanced school. In a class with of 24 there would be 2 black kids. Same logic can apply to housing. That ain’t going to happen.
Most blacks I know prefer the live and go to school in a place at least 30% black and usually ur lban. Making racial balance impossible.
Based on the conviction that non-white kids are unable to learn unless there are white kids in the same room.
#1 that's exactly what they'll do
And just who LIVES in Irvington, pray tell? And who is forcing them to STAY there, rather than moving somewhere else? If my math is right (3/10 of 1% x 6,700) that's 20.1 white students. Where'd that .1 of a student come from?
So, your folks were racists, eh? < /sarc >
looks like just the opposite.
Not sure how this jibes with Brown v. Board of Education
