Overturning Brown
The Segregationist Legacy of the Modern School Choice Movement
Steve Suitts
A thought-provoking critique of the school choice movement, Overturning Brown draws parallels between modern strategies and those of segregationists in the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Steve Suitts exposes the dangers posed by the rhetoric of so-called civil rights policies, calling attention to the economic and educational disparities that have expanded following Brown. Through his analysis of discriminatory policies and the dangers of funneling public funds into predominantly white and wealthy private schools, Suitts reveals the risks that America's underprivileged youth face.
