It appears that in 2006, school segregation is back in style in Denver. Or that desegregation of schools effectively ended when the government stopped forcing the busing issue:

The study says white students re-segregated rapidly after the desegregation order was lifted, reports the Denver Post.

The study done for Denver’s Piton Foundation says individual schools no longer represent the city’s demographics. Denver’s student population is 57 percent Latino, 20 percent white and 19 percent black, reports the Denver Post.

“You have white students who are concentrated in schools with other white students,” said the study’s researcher Chungmei Lee. “Latino students are especially isolated.”

I guess we have to be forced to live among each other, robbing our children the gift of being surrounded by people of different backgrounds, enriching their learning process. Incredible that we still can’t do it on our own.
