In what is sure to become an annual event, the News & Observer published a “charter schools are segregated” op-ed today by Mark Dorosin, attorney at the UNC Center for Civil Rights, and company.
The April 2010 version:
Missing from the [Race to the Top] debate is the reality that North Carolina charter schools are a national leader in racial isolation and hyper-segregated learning.
The March 2011 version:
Although charters are funded partially by taxpayer money and technically are open to any student, many are racially and socioeconomically hypersegregated, exclusive programs that more closely resemble private schools.
If the authors truly cared about “segregated” schools, they would object to the nearly 250 district schools that have non-white populations of 90 percent or more.
