Things that remain centerstage today in the #marginalization of so many

There's a long history of #segregation and #uglylaws, on and on, to keep those who don't conform with expected norms from having an affect on the lulled masses

#fascist #hiearchical #capitalist #elitism is present in systems that are not, nor ever were, built to help the #marginalized

They created the very disparity seen still today

Today in Labor History May 17, 1954: Brown v. Board of Education went into effect. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" public education was unconstitutional, and a violation of the 14th Amendment. The ruling reversed the 1896 "separate but equal" Plessy vs Ferguson decision. However, researchers at Stanford and USC have recently found that, in spite of this SCOTUS ruling, racial segregation in the nation’s 100 largest school districts has increased by 64% since 1988, while economic segregation increased by 50% since 1991. While residential segregation was a major driving force for school segregation in the past, the primary driving force for today’s segregation is the School Choice movement, which has allowed hundreds of charter schools to open up, many for-profit. During the 2021-2022 school year, 7.4% of all public-school students, 3.7 million kids, attended charter schools. And there tends to be much more segregation within charter schools. Additionally, there has been a decline in court oversight of segregation in schools, resulting from a number of lawsuits in the 1990s against affirmative action policies.

Vox · Why school segregation is getting worseBy Fabiola Cineas

"Inside the Justice Department, officials appointed by President Donald Trump have expressed desire to withdraw from other desegregation orders they see as an unnecessary burden on schools."

"Research on districts released from orders has found that many saw greater increases in racial segregation compared with those under court orders."

« "[The Smithsonian] jouit d'une réputation internationale pour l'intégrité de ses recherches. Il n'y a aucune raison pour que le président interfère. Et ça ne s'est jamais produit jusqu'ici", rappelle-t-il. "La raison de cette attaque est aussi bien politique qu'idéologique. "Ils sont gênés parce que les études historiques identifient le #racisme comme une #continuité centrale de l'histoire américaine. Nous avons réduit les Afro-Américains en #esclavage pendant 200 ans. Ensuite, un système légalisé de #ségrégation a été mis en place pendant une soixantaine d'années. Nier que ça s'est produit est stupide et réducteur". »
