MSU Study Finds Michigan Schools Remain Racially Segregated
The Washington Times has a story by Andrea Billups reporting a study by the MSU Education Policy Center found that the number of Michigan schools considered racially segregated increased to 431. The results were very similar to a Harvard University Civil Rights Project report in 1993 that named Michigan schools the most segregated in the nation. Nearly 75% of black students who attend charter schools in Michigan attend schools that the study classified as segregated. The state's 216 charter schools remain popular with parents, with more than 82,000 students enrolled and an estimated 10,000 on waiting lists, particularly in urban areas such as Flint and Detroit.
