Document Summary
Exam - multiple choice (largely based on readings), one essay on lecture material, one essay on reading material. Persists even after we get rid of de jure segregation. Things that led to de facto segregation: Public decisions: where to build housing projects/who can live in them. Kids would go to inner city schools because of the specialization. Even if you moved students around, you couldn"t get broad diversity. **the 1964 civil rights act says you can"t discriminate on age, race, national origin, gender. Sexual practice is not covered, and has yet to be covered. There is a question as to whether the govt will give people protections under the umbrella of religion to discriminate against the lgbtq community because it goes against their religion . Military is a supporter of affirmative action because they want their soldiers to understand diverse people because they will encounter diversity abroad.
