Right now, all sorts of people are trying to rethink and reinvent education, to get poor minority kids performing as well as white kids. But there's one thing nobody tries anymore, despite lots of evidence that it works: desegregation.

I love how they just slide in there this is the school district Michael Brown is from.... Really raises awareness of the environment where something like Fergueson can happen.

great post, @alexcartaz. Excellent and important episode. Great stuff.
