Abstract

This chapter discusses school choice as a civil rights issue. Drawing from historical, political, and sociological literatures and legal documents, the chapter discusses the factors that construct market-based choice as a civil right for poor parents of color. These include (1) conservative framing of school choice, (2) legal jurisprudence combined with the expansion of the suburbs and the subsequent race and social class isolation of many large urban school districts, and (3) the significant support of philanthropists on the expansion of charter school reform.
