It's 2022, Why are Schools Still Segregated?

    I became more aware of the obvious issue of segregation within schools and am now more prepared to recognize the situations. I am willing to take a stand for these unfair circumstances and learn even more about the issue and how to help. In one of the readings in the module it says talking about Brown v. Board of Education “While the decision promised societal changes, it failed to deliver in many ways.” This allowed me to dive in and really think about how school systems flow and how much of a change we need. Now more than ever a change is needing to be made, with a rise of younger and culturally responsive educators coming into the school systems, we need to educate and promote the diverse classrooms. Throughout the module many researchers and authors spoke their truth and gave statistics on Black students in classrooms and their learning level and environment compared to White students. Once again, the results were very eye opening and it is apparent that school systems need to check on their students and teachers. There are many programs that are offered to lead an help faculty and staff in schools become more aware of the segregation issues and how to be proactive in these situations and make a difference to better the lives and education of the students and the environment and well being of the school and classrooms. It is 2022 and the schools are still segregated because no one has agreed on a solid way to make a change.
