TTT#16-Race and Resegregation

Download this episode (59 min)
OCTOBER 17 TTT's Andy Driscoll and new co-host, Lynnell Mickelsen ask proponents of four perspectives on racism, resegregation, and remedies in Twin Cities education.

Studies and statistics show urban core schools more segregated than ever. This was not the plan back in 1960s, 70s, and 80s when court ruling and policymakers combined to invoke the means to bring white kids and students of color into the same educational settings. Why haven't they come together? What dynamics are at play in the palpably re-segregated systems of the Twin Metro Area? The answer is that there is no one answer - and no one remedy. Many good people bring wide-ranging perspectives to the discussion about what to do to improve achievement and reduce the social isolation that comes from segregated housing patterns and schools.
