492 After School Satan Clubs, MLK Day & Disturbing Bible Stories with Esau McCaulley & David T. Lamb

To commemorate MLK Day, Phil asks Esau McCaulley if we’re making progress on race or if we’ve gone backwards in the last few years. His answer might surprise you. Skye then interviews Old Testament professor, David T. Lamb, about the updated version of his book, “God Behaving Badly: Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist?” Lamb argues that if read correctly, we’d discover the Old Testament is surprisingly progressive rather than barbaric. Also this week, controversy erupts as after school Satan clubs sponsored by The Satanic Temple pop up in elementary schools with Good News clubs. And, a country music star withdraws his support from a Christian school that teaches racism is a reality. Plus, scientists discover sea slugs have an interesting party trick.

Why Are Schools Still So Segregated?

Why Are Schools Still So Segregated?

Schools have become more and more segregated over the last 30 years. Why? America’s school-age population is more racially diverse than it’s ever been before. Yet schools have become more and more segregated over the last 30 years. So what’s the deal? Wasn’t that all resolved back in 1954 when the Supreme Court prohibited school segregation? **How segregated are K-12 public schools nowadays? According to a study by UCLA’s Civil Rights Project, the number of public schools across the country with an almost entirely minority student body has more than tripled over the last 25 years. Today, almost 1 in 5 public schools in the U.S. have just about no white students. **Why are schools still so segregated? A bunch of different factors. Beginning in the late 1960s, a lot of segregated in the South were forced, under federal court order, to integrate. And although a lot of white communities weren’t super happy about it, it worked. School integration steadily increased over the next two decades, reaching a highpoint in 1988. Since then, though, many schools and communities have rapidly re-segregated, largely the result of more districts being released from their court orders and ending certain integration programs like cross-district busing. There were other factors, too, including a mass exodus of mostly white middle class communities that starting moving from urban areas to the suburbs, in large part because of the schools. So, in other words, forced segregation is still against the law: schools can’t prevent students from attending based on their skin color. But, without being aggressively pushed to integrate, many communities are still self-segregating. **Why does school segregation matter? Segregated schools have been shown to have disproportionately negative impacts on minority populations, especially in low-income communities. These students often attend schools with fewer resources, less experienced teachers and lower academic achievement rates. And that can affect everything from a students’ chances of graduating high school and going on to college to the kind of job they get and the amount of money they earn over the course of their careers.
