A new report from Harvard's Civil Rights Project highlights startling patterns of racial enrollment and segregation in American public schools at the national, regional, state, and district levels for students of all racial groups. According to Gary Orfield, "Martin Luther King's dream is being honored in theory and dishonored in the decisions and practices that are turning our schools back to segregation. Dr. King would not be at banquets celebrating the triumph of civil rights, he would be leading protests against courts and school officials for making decisions which send minority children back to inferior schools that punish them for their inferior education, and for decisions that leave young whites deeply isolated and unprepared for the multiracial society they will live and work in."
