In New York, California and Texas, more than half of Latino students are enrolled in schools that are 90 percent minority or more, the report found. In New York, Illinois, Maryland and Michigan, more than half of black students attend schools where 90 percent or more are minority.
Project co-director Gary Orfield, author of the "Brown at 60" report, said the changes are troubling because they show some minority students receive poorer educations than white students and Asian students, who tend to be in middle-class schools. The report urged, among other things, deeper research into housing segregation, which is a "fundamental cause of separate-and-unequal schooling."
Although segregation is more prevalent in central cities of the largest metropolitan areas, it's also in the suburbs. "Neighborhood schools, when we go back to them, as we have, produce middle-class schools for whites and Asians and segregated high-poverty schools for blacks and Latinos," Orfield said.
Housing discrimination - stopping or discouraging minorities from moving to majority-white areas - also plays a role in school segregation and "that's been a harder nut to crack," said Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which argued the Brown case in front of the Supreme Court.

I was in Myrtle Beach a few years back and noticed that blacks had segregated themselves. They just were not comfortable in the “white” areas. They would do business freely but then go back to their neighborhoods. I also noticed a new “African Church” system in place. It seemed to be focused on blacks doing well and not on racism of any real sort.
” or in government housing (which for some reason is never located in white neighborhoods).”

Most of the original projects were build in white neighborhoods——most are still operating.
They were started in the late 40s and early 50s for veterans to get a start in life. The vets moved in,and moved on. Now the residents stay there forever.

So Asians are not considered minority students. This is just a follow-on to the California concept of two racial groups: "Blacksanhispanics" and "Whitsanasians".
And I would add, whites are technically a minority in California. A plurality, yes, but majority, no.
This is really about two things: Rich vs. Poor, where "rich" refers to middle to upper middle class individuals who can afford to move to a neighborhood with good schools; and ethnic/cultural groups who care about their childrens' education vs. ethnic/cultural groups who do not.

Asians outperform white students because they try harder: study
At some point, Obama/Holder/Clinton will demand a return to busing. White and Asian kids in the suburbs will have to get up at 5am to catch the bus for the one-hour ride to the inner city, meanwhile the buses will pick up inner city Black and Hispanic kids and deliver them to suburban schools. My niece experienced this about 30 years ago. There were two buses which came through the integrated neighborhood. One bus took the white kids to the elementary school 30 minutes away in a predominately black neighborhood, while the second bus picked up the black kids and took them to the school a half a mile away.
Its like that in Atlanta also. And a lot of it is $200,000 to $400,000 homes. Many many totally black subdivisions and nice ones. They prefer to live with each other as do Whites, Asians and Hispanics.
In the Metro Atlanta area you also see where the black kids are being bussed into affluent neighborhood schools the whites just put their kids in private school. So when school lets out in the afternoon if you didn’t know better you would think you were in a Black neighborhood.
Weissberg's conclusion after careful study was that the students and their families were the main culprits in their childrens failure to learn. The fact is there are programs for minority parents to get their kids into better schools. Most of the parents don't care, or the kids don't want to go the better schools. It's like the old adage about leading a horse to water.
School-wise, yes probably. I went to Jesuit Dallas, and we had a decent mix of people.
But most of my experience comes from the people I work with (AV within hotels, so the specific people each day gets mixed around), and the main thing I’ve noticed race-wise is the grouping. Blacks tend to group up, Asians tend to group up, but whites/hispanics not so much.
I first realized this right after Newt Gingrich was forced to resign after he got caught in his affair with the ever-present Callista.
He was my Congressman from East Cobb County where my family could be traced back before the Civil War. Always solidly conservative and a stalwart.
After he left and Clinton was re-elected, I began to see Section 8 types start showing up in all the older sub divisions there. At first taking the bus to work or driving a beat up bald tired hoopty. I even had minorities coming to my doorstep thinking they could buy my house and 2.5 acres for a $100K so they could invest in Section 8 income housing.
Where is East Cobb today? You still have those $500k and million dollar housing enclaves, but they are interspersed with many pockets of that kind of denizen (Section 8). If you go to the Walmart or nearly anywhere else, nearly all the employees are just like in Marietta on Highway 41.
It was done on purpose, actively. They wanted revenge on the district that elected Gingrich and they changed it’s demographics.
I left there in 2003 along with my sister and other relatives. That place is a dead wasteland waiting to happen.
“deeper research into housing segregation, which is a ‘fundamental cause of separate-and-unequal schooling.’”
Yeah, more big government dictates regarding where you live and where you want your children to attend school will solve everything.
For leftists, there is never enough control to please them.
I honestly can't wait until that day comes. I'm so tired of that poisonous, inferior culture sucking the life out of my country. They're bringing it on themselves, they could back away from the cliff, but I guess that would be "acting white" or some such nonsense.
It’s called the zombie apocolypse. And it is coming sadly.
Lots of white families are moving out of Orange County, Ca and are being replaced by Hispanics and Asians, including Indians. The whites that are moving in to the upscale areas, think Irvine, are college educated, liberal democrat Obama voters. Generally they have no clue. As far as segregation of schools go, the Asians are interested in quality education for their children and won’t allow themselves to be guinea pigs for social engineering. Those rich white families will go private school if they have to which many already are. As far as pushing a government scheme to balance Hispanic students across the board, this will never happen. and guess what, it is not racism as Obama and his disciples claim, it is plain common sense and self preservation by families who care about their kids.
