Abstract

In a recent report the United States Commission on Civil Rights clearly documented the persistent problem of racial isolation in the public schools.1 Isolation, as presented in the Commission Report, is merely another way of saying that the public schools, some thirteen years after the Brown decision, are in many instances still segregated by race. Some of the more fundamental causes of racial isolation, as stated by the Commission, are: disparity in income between the white and Negro races, discriminatory practices in housing leading to residential segregation, the flight of white citizens to the suburbs, the traditional practice of basing school enrollment on residence in attendance zones and the unwillingness of some school officials to take effective steps to relieve the problem.2
