end racial desegregation in schools, using the 50th anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court decision to discuss election-year issues.

==============================================
Should "spawned the fight to
end racial desegregation in schools" be "spawned the fight to
end racial segregation in schools"?
It's all politics; we still have segregated schools in the US. Bush's "leave no child behind" is also nothing but political rhetoric. The federal government mandated minimum standards and testing of students without funding it. Most people do not follow these issues closely enough to know how their rhetoric doesn't match the reality.
Hi cicerone, you've expressed your opinion about politics, but didn't answer my question yet. :wink:
I indirectly answered yhur question. What they say are all political rhetoric without much substance in reality. We have "segregated" schools today after fifty years of Brown vs Board of Education. We have many segregated schools right here in California. That's a period.
oristarA,
Yes, it does seem to have been an error that you spotted.
I agree with oristarA and Craven. The sentence is in error.
I also agree with cicerone. But, maybe I am just in an agreable mood today.
ci, the quote says "spawned the fight to end", not "ended". Oristar is correct -- it should have read "segregation."
Although there are those who fight to this day to end desegregation...
Wy, Point well taken; I understood, but just ignored. My fault entirely.
Stumble It!
