57 years after Brown v. Board, outlook dim for school segregation

SNIP

Yes, it's been 57 years since the US Supreme struck down school segregation in Brown v. Board of Education. And do we see main stream media news headlines lamenting the lack of resurgence of school segregation?properly

No. Of course not. The Fourteenth Amendment was enacted to end the vestiges of slavery. It finally got enforced in the field of public education in 1956. Public opinion does not support re-segregating America. Nor does the main stream media.

Yet last week McClatchy Newspapers published David Lightman's "news" article here in the District entitled "30 years after Reagan shot, outlook dim for gun control."
