Desegregation—Integration:
While some schools may be desegregated, they may not be truly integrated. Racial desegregation of schools serves as a method to provide equality of educational opportunity, “ensuring” that students of diverse racial backgrounds attend the same schools as opposed to attending racially isolated institutions that often receive inequitable funding and educational resources. Integration may occur after desegregation yet only when effective methods have intentionally been implemented to overcome educational disadvantages and inequities that minority students often experience in schools. Integration, among its many goals, seeks to foster affirmative, democratic, and thoughtful interracial discourse and relationships.
