The truth, as researcher Linda Darling - Hammond has stated, is that «the U.S.
educational system is one of the most
unequal in the industrialized world, and students routinely receive dramatically different learning
opportunities based on their social status.
But they know not to talk about substantive education issues that affect these children like the one reported by the Civil Rights Project: «Based on evidence from several important measures of segregation, the Civil Rights Project stands by its strong contention that re-segregation has occurred, and that African - American and Latino students are experiencing more isolation
in schools than they were a generation ago — and further, that this segregation is deeply linked to
unequal educational opportunities.»
The Coleman Report, mandated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, was commissioned to shine a light on
unequal educational opportunity across the country, and to expose differences between schools attended by black and white students, particularly
in the South.
