Description
Using the school-chocie systems in Milwaukee and Cleaevland as a basis, author Joseph P. Viteritti reviews a variety of policy initiatives enacted to promote educational opportunity and finds that the nation has fallen short of providing decent schooling for its most disadvantaged children, and in so doing has delayed the movement toward social and political equality.
