Include the African-American Community in the Debate.
Edwards, Ralph
Social Policy, v22 n3 p37-39 Win 1992
It is hypocritical to oppose black immersion schools (BISs) as resegregationist. BISs are a solution to urban school problems proposed in areas where integration has failed. BISs are a reaction to that failure, not a cause of it. To succeed, BISs must address issues of social and economic justice. (SLD)
