Quotes from Kozol's Essay

Still Separate, Still Unequal: America's Educational Apartheid
 
Three quotes from the essay:
  1. "In Chicago, by the academic year 2002-2003, 87 percent of public-school enrollment was black or Hispanic; less than 10 percent of children in the schools were white."
  2.  "In a school I visited in the fall of 2004 in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, a document distributed to visitors reports that the school's curriculum 'addresses the needs of children from diverse backgrounds'." 
  3. "But when I looked at the racial numbers that the district had reported to the state, I learned that there were 2,800 black and Hispanic children in the system, 1 Asian child, and 3 whites."
