The biggest success of school desegregation plans has been the almost universal belief that racial discrimination is immoral and the commitment on the part of school districts to promoting and maintaining racial diversity in the schools. However, mandatory reassignment plans and plans with racial quotas have had serious costs--white flight and protest voting--and limited benefits--the racial gap in achievement was not reduced by school desegregation nor was there a significant improvement in race relations in school districts with desegregation plans. The authors of this book take a critical perspective on school desegregation policies and suggest compensatory funding and school choice as the solution to the problems of racial separation and the achievement gap.
