| Description: | |||||||
| This seminar covers legal and policy responses to the problem of marginalized communities and unequal educational opportunity. Schooling works both to ratify existing social structures and simultaneously to provide underprivileged groups with the tools to challenge those structures. To approach these issues, we concentrate on school financing and racial desegregation, including the historical development of racially and economically isolated schools, how state and federal courts have created and responded to isolated school populations, and current legal approaches to these issues. We also discuss same-sex education, affirmative action in secondary schools, and sexual orientation expression in schools. Reading assignments on these topics include state and federal case law as well as non-legal sources from sociology, race theory, legal history, and education theory. The final grade will be determined by class participation and a research paper. | |||||||
