This article uses critical theoretical methods to reconsider the potential of "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka" in urban education.

Wheeler-Bell, Quentin – Educational Policy, 2019
Ghettos are a social evil. They are social atrocities maintained by inexcusable racist laws and practices, structures of class domination, and institutionalized political marginalization. After "Brown v. The Board of Education," educational reformers have increasingly (mis)framed the problem of "ghetto schools" as a failure to…

Melnick, R. Shep – University of Chicago Press, 2023
In 1954, the Supreme Court delivered the landmark decision of "Brown v. Board of Education"--establishing the right to attend a desegregated school as a national constitutional right--but the decision contained fundamental ambiguities.

Thompson Dorsey, Dana N.; Roulhac, Gwen D. – Peabody Journal of Education, 2019
School choice policies and the movement to privatize education have become the currently preferred school reform methods on both the state and federal levels under the guise they will provide equal educational opportunities and access for all students.

Sixty-five years after the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, the federal and judicial role in school desegregation has declined.

Willis, Arlette Ingram – Journal of Literacy Research, 2019
In this critique, race is centralized to draw attention to the role it plays in the complex evolution of response to intervention, past and present.

A brief overview of…

Superfine, Benjamin M. – Teachers College Record, 2022
Background: Over the past decade, courts increasingly have considered cases that involve clashes between public, secular private, and religious institutions in education.
