Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Denver Public School (DPS) District was the first district outside the southern states to undergo court-ordered desegregation. DPS is now the fastest growing urban school district in the country. As such, the societal ill of resegregation that has plagued school districts across the country also strongly influences DPS’s public deliberation. DPS-led efforts to overcome current racial isolation provide one instance to examine how citizens actually engage race in everyday contexts. Consideration of the district’s communicative successes, as well as its pathologies, forms the basis of an alternative approach, namely, encouraging the interruptive voice. This approach draws upon insights from rhetorical and political theory to offer innovative ideas about how public school districts might generate healthier discourse regarding race.
