"the new This American Life about school segregation is flames (link)"


  

          

part 2 dropping this sunday. this shit'll either make your blood boil or else you'll just feel hopeless.

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/562/the-problem-we-all-live-with

Right now, all sorts of people are trying to rethink and reinvent education, to get poor minority kids performing as well as white kids. But there's one thing nobody tries anymore, despite lots of evidence that it works: desegregation. Nikole Hannah-Jones looks at a district that, not long ago, accidentally launched a desegregation program. First of a two-part series.
