My article talked about a problem within New Lebenon Elementary school, a public school in Byram, CT. There is an issue with this school in specific becuase the state requires there to be a certain amount of diversity within every school of that district. Becuase new lebanon elementary has 52 percent minority, there is possibility that it could turn into a Magnet school, where kids of majority would enter the school and kids already in new lebanon elementary of minority would leave. This however could be a major violation as the Supreme court ruled that schools on the west coast could not fix schools based on race. I found this to be an interesting conflict and am not sure whether that distric should diversify the school or not.

After learning about the inequalities present in the US educational system I have come to the conclusion that this above all should be our countries most important and top priority. We live in the most prosperous nation on the globe and yet we still can not provide the right to proper education for the poor minority groups in our country. This in and of itself is an autrocity. If we do not educate children today we are puttting our nation at risk because knowledge is the power which allows our country to flourish.
