Despite the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown
v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, that "separate but
equal" segregated schools are unconstitutional, racial segregation
remains a fact of life in U.S. education today. One of the factors
that contributes to high rates of school segregation is
a.
racially separated housing patterns.
b.
the introduction of magnet schools with specialized programs
such as science or the fine arts.
c.
affirmative action programs that focus entirely on nonwhite
students.
d.
the practice of busing racial-ethnic minority students across
town.
