“School district boundaries can and should be drawn intentionally to define school systems that are neither separate nor unequal.” - Zahava Stadler, New America Last month, we announced $5.8 million in grants to promote #integration and #equity in U.S. public schools. One of our grantees, New America, is modeling changes to school district boundaries to improve diversity and funding equity. By exploring options like district consolidation or redrawing boundaries based on existing census data, they aim to inform the creation of more balanced and equitable school districts. New America emphasizes, "Just as legislative districts need fair maps, school districts are crucial for an equal society." We are excited to support New America as they work towards creating fairer and more inclusive school district boundaries.
In a concurring opinion a couple of weeks ago, Clarence Thomas traces the Supreme Court’s involvement in the drawing of legislative maps back to a surprising source: Brown v. Board of Education. Here's a new post from me on why that makes more sense than you might think--and why we should take school district maps more seriously as a key to building a fairer America. https://lnkd.in/g5re3nKZ

🔦 Texas is in the spotlight as the site where #Juneteenth originated. Today, it’s also the site where a major battle against diversity, equity, and inclusion is being fought on college campuses. Governor Greg Abbott signed a law (Senate Bill 17) last year that bans diversity programs at public universities throughout the state. But don’t be fooled, Texas is not alone — at least 8 other states have passed similar bans. We must act to reverse and prevent any further obstruction to diversity initiatives. ➡️ TAKE ACTION this Juneteenth, it only takes a couple of minutes: sign our petition to repeal SB-17!
