From Ascribe Newsfeed: The highly anticipated ruling from the U.S. Supreme court over the constitutionality of racial school integration plans in Louisville, Kentucky and Seattle, Washington could precipitate the biggest change to school integration policy since the decision in Brown vs. Board of Education. Should school districts look to find new ways to integrate by race? Should the districts turn to integration by socioeconomic status as in Raleigh, North Carolina and San Francisco, California? One of the nation's most distinctive voices on school integration, he can provide fresh perspective and skillful analysis for your stories about the consequences of the Supreme Court's decision. He is the author of a book on socioeconomic school integration, entitled "All Together Now: Creating Middle-Class Schools through Public School Choice" (Brookings Press, 2001). Previously, Kahlenberg was a Fellow at the Center for National Policy, a visiting associate professor of constitutional law at George Washington University, and a legislative assistant to Senator Charles S. Robb (D-VA). He is the author of the soon to be published book "Tough Liberal: Al Shanker and the Battles over Schools, Unions, Race, and Democracy," as well as "The Remedy: Class, Race, and Affirmative Action"; and "Broken Contract: A Memoir of Harvard Law School." His articles on education, school desegregation and affirmative action have been published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New Republic, and elsewhere.
