If you know anything about Connecticut, you know that its cities are among the poorest in the nation and its suburbs are the richest. If you know anything about education and social justice, you can imagine the achievement gap that exists in Connecticut. This book looks at the landmark Sheff v. O'Neill school desegregation case, in which the plaintiffs argued that their children were being provided with a "separate and unequal" education and that Connecticut has not lived up to the requirements of Brown v. Board. It's an interesting way to look at education reform - perhaps, instead of trying to improve our essentially segregated schools, we should not take for granted that brown children almost always go to different schools than white children. Perhaps everyone - including white kids - deserves an integrated education.
