Some authors such as Jerry Roziek and Ta-Nehisi Coates highlight the importance of tackling the root concept of racism instead of desegregation efforts that arise as a result of the end of de jure segregation. Not only does the current segregation of neighborhoods and schools in the US affect social issues and practices, but it is considered by some to be a factor in the achievement gap between Black and white students.
Residential segregation in the United States and school choice, both historically and currently, have had a considerable effect on school segregation. However, voluntary segregation appears to have increased since 1990 based on decreases in the amount of interactions between black and white students, also known as the black-white exposure index, and the resegregation of Black People in public schools. School segregation declined rapidly during the late 1960s and early 1970s as the government became strict on schools' plans to combat segregation more effectively as a result of Green v. Board of Education, which banned segregated school laws, school segregation took de facto form. Secondary schools for African Americans in the South were called training schools instead of high schools in order to appease racist whites and focused on vocational education. These laws were influenced by the history of slavery and discrimination in the US. Segregation continued longstanding exclusionary policies in much of the South (where many African Americans lived) after the Civil War, and segregation was codified with Jim Crow laws.
Segregation in schools has a long history in the United States and American schools are more racially segregated now than in the late 1960s, when segregation laws were finally dismantled. More than half of all students in the United States attend school districts with high concentrations of people (over 75%) of their own ethnicity and about 40% of black students attend schools where 90%-100% of students are non-white.
School segregation in the United States is the separation of students based on their ethnicity.
