Another wonderful article, Allison. I grew up during the era of housing and school segregation and then integration and busing. It was disruptive, to be sure, but did some good at the time, I think, if only because overt segregation was so cruel.

I agree with you that schools in Black communities need more money and resources. Increased educational and economic opportunities for children of color are essential, but I think, we still need to strive for school integration because when we hang out with each other, get to know each other -- whoever the other is -- we often drop our biases. But, we can't achieve this ideal of social and housing integration without equal economic opportunity.

What do you think of the Brooklyn School of Inquiry's idea to set aside 40% of their kindergarten seats specifically for low-income children? Does anyone know if or how this has worked out?

Still, I think, we need to live in the same communities.

Thank you again for reminding us that racial segregation is still with us, is everywhere and is the root of everything.
