The "Brown" Decision Revisited: Mathematizing Social Problems.
Tate, William F.; And Others
Educational Policy, v7 n3 p255-75 Sep 1993
A restrictive form of equality limits African Americans' ability to benefit equally from public schooling. The "Brown" decision represents the Supreme Court's attempt to apply a mathematical solution to a social problem and left schools free to develop responses that failed to address African-American students' needs. A more expansive educational model is proposed. (Contains 45 references.) (MLH)
