Kappan call for manuscripts: Schooling in Segregated America
Deadline: October 1, 2018
Nearly 65 years after Brown v. Board of Education, our public schools remain intensely segregated along a number of dimensions: race, wealth, religion, home language, political affiliation, and more.
The February 2019 issue takes stock of just how separate and unequal our schools are today, and it highlights contemporary debates about the reasons for, effects of, and best ways to respond to segregation.

"It is in this way that parenting becomes a process of piecing together the unwritten rules about how to advance your own child through a broken system, rather than considering the system as a whole. It becomes a game of telephone where you are passing along the questions you are supposed to be asking and the answers you are supposed to be pursuing - a strategic scramble rather than a moral investigation. You end up pursuing the answers to questions that weren't even yours to begin with."
"So perhaps the first thing parents of a certain economic class, largely white, must do is stop asking and answering other people's questions."
