Introduction
Education is meant to be a tool of empowerment to everyone that receives it. The knowledge shared in the education process should be equal for all that are in line to receive it eventually. Education is freshly received by children since their minds are young and active. The continued accumulation of knowledge should be made available to every child regardless of his/her originADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1080/14616740802393890", "ISBN" : "0786714905, 9780786714902", "ISSN" : "14616742", "PMID" : "12373972", "abstract" : "Stigliz is largely concerned with concentrated economic power, and how this power can convert into political muscle. Both government and traditional news outlets are poorly equpied to explore the problem because they are already under the influence of money. Government is often unsympathetic to the issue because of revolving doors between regulatory agencies and the businesses they are intended to regulate. In addition to the problems with our democractic system, the economy as a whole is more susceptible to diminished demand and crisises when economic concentration is great.", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Basu", "given" : "Srimati", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "International Feminist Journal of Politics", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issue" : "4", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2008" ] ] }, "page" : "495-517", "title" : "Separate and unequal", "type" : "article", "volume" : "10" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=945e165d-fc02-4344-837d-21efaa42c7d0" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Basu)", "manualFormatting" : "(Basu, 496)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Basu)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Basu)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Basu, 496). The fight for equality in the education sector has been an ongoing battle and the situation seems to worsen due to recent resegregation in some American schools.
Causes of the Situation
Kozol explains that the main perpetrators of the resegragation in American schools is the Supreme Court and the arbiters of culture in the nation. The Supreme Court was responsible for passing the law that enforced the need for equality in American schools. The ruling was in response to the segregation that was evident in American schools within the early 19th centuryADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "ISSN" : "0017789X", "abstract" : "One of the most important legal decisions of the twentieth centuryy was the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education. This case made it a federal crime for the institution of education to segregate children on the basis of race in public schools. The intent was to challenge racial and social class inequality that created inferior classrooms and curricula for many of our nation's children.
