The Right Fight for Education
LDF Senior Education Policy Counsel Janel George, along with Joseph Bishop and Dwanna Nicole , writes in a Huffington Post blog why it is imperative for Congress to quickly improve and reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA):

Decades ago, civil rights leaders fought to desegregate our nation’s schools. Today, 60 years after the Brown v. Board of Education decision officially invalidated racial segregation in our nation’s public schools, students are facing a resurgence of de facto segregation by both race and socioeconomic status. And, we continue to witness pervasive educational inequalities, especially in the inequitable distribution of school funding to low-income communities of color.
