Kahlenberg, Richard D.
Public Interest, n144 p54-72 Sum 2001
Examines three works by James Coleman: "Equality of Educational Opportunity" (the Coleman Report), 1966; Coleman's study of school busing and white flight in the 1970s; and his 1980s research on the advantages of private schools. His conclusions included: social composition is more important than school spending and socioeconomic integration is more important than racial integration. (SM)
