Bernie Sanders Has A Plan To Fix Racial Segregation In American Schools

Excerpt:
ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Sen. Bernie Sanders released a plan Saturday to repair the American public education system that focuses on ending school segregation and racial discrimination against students, recognizing a growing outcry over schools that have become increasingly re-segregated in the wake of the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that was handed down 65 years ago Friday.
The plan would try to revive the force of the federal government’s efforts in the 1950s and 1960s to end the separation of students by race, help school districts that are trying to desegregate their own schools, and address funding disparities that mean students of color often end up in schools that have less money and more inexperienced teachers.
Sanders’ plan would allow districts to use federal money for busing, ending a longstanding roadblock that has prevented them from spending federal dollars on the programs.
Sanders, speaking to a small crowd alongside a collection of educators and campaign surrogates such as Cornel West, noted that the Brown case launched just 40 miles away in the town of Summerton and described his proposal as a vehicle for "revolutionizing education" and addressing the injustices that still remain 65 years later.
