Racial Discrimination And The Public School System :
A 9 page research paper that investigates the effects of the
desegregation laws and actions. The issue is far more
complex than just desegregation in the schools in terms of
racial numbers. There is an important issue of achievement.
Did these actions improve the achievement of any of the
students? The data are mixed on this question. The
hypothesis for the paper: does racial discrimination still exist
in the schools? is accepted based on the literature review,
however, other issues are equally as important in this
question. This paper discusses these and concludes with
suggestions for future studies. The bibliography lists 8
