A view from Milwaukee: “In Milwaukee, one of the country’s most segregated metropolitan regions, the May 17 anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education will be particularly bitter. Like other urban areas, this city has long ignored Brown’s proclamation 60 years ago that ‘separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.’ We live comfortably with rampant school segregation. But Milwaukee, where more students receive vouchers than in any U.S. city, has taken the abandonment of Brown to a new level. We are abandoning the very institution of public education.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/05/16/are-we-abandoning-public-education-60-years-after-historic-brown-ruling/
