"NOT SEPARATE BUT STILL UNEQUAL" |
100 New York University Law Review 971 (October, 2025) |
Much of education law scholarship on school segregation has focused on majority-minority schools.

What we know about segregation in these schools focuses on... |

The prosecution of gang crimes and gang enhancements have historically been a source of racial inequity and disparity within the criminal justice system.

In late 2024, a new expression--sanewashing--began circulating in the lead-up to the presidential election.
