I think most Americans would be shocked to learn that the segregation found in some of our schools, particularly in our northern cities, is worse than it was before the Brown v. Board ruling in 1954. Jonathan Kozol was probably write to use "The Shame of the Nation" as a title for a book about this, and unfortunately, due to factors including more recent Supreme Court rulings, political climate, high urban poverty rates, etc., I don't see the problem getting better any time soon.
