Post #10: Segregation Today

Well as some know, this past Thursday I went through an interview with the History Ed Department. As we talked, we started to discuss the idea of segregation today. As we all know legal segragation is today illegal, but it seems that unintentional segregation is still around today. My best example that I used in my interview was looking at inner city school systems and comparing them to suburban schools. My main evidence I discussed was the fact that the schools with higher populations tend to do poorer due to a lack of funding that they would need to do better, and then the students get stuck in the system and many being unable to leave the inner city areas. It was one of the eye opening ideas we discussed, understanding that we may not have moved as far forward as we think we have.
