Are The Oughties All About Rolling The Clock Back?

That was my thought when I read this article (admittedly from this past September) in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the rise of resegregation.

well, there are some tidbits from the article which suggest that we're not going back to the way things were in the 50s or 60s.

first: "fewer whites are going to schools that are all-white or close to it."

second: "within several years, for the first time, fewer than half of the nation's kindergarten through 12th-grade students will be white."

that's not to say that everything is peachy... it's just that the data shows we're not going to exactly where we were before.
