LinkLinksOpinion Ramin Taheri in The 74: Giving At-Risk Kids Priority in Lottery for D.C. Charter Schools Can Help Integration and Right a Historic Wrong By Editor On Sep 22, 2020 Last updated Sep 22, 2020 27 Share On the day in 1954 when the Supreme Court decided in Brown v. Board of Education that “separate but equal” schools were unconstitutional, it also ruled in Bolling v. Sharpe that segregated public schools in the District of Columbia denied Black students due process of law. These landmark legal decisions were foundational in establishing education as a civil right in America. They did not, however, immediately lead to integrated public schools, in D.C. or elsewhere in the country. 27 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
