Subject: School integration helps in game of life

By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY
Students who attended racially integrated public high schools in the 1970s
would do it again, says a study looking at racial attitudes a half-century after
the U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed school segregation.
The study, based on interviews with 242 members of the Class of 1980 from six
racially diverse high schools across the country, suggests there is "a silent
majority" of Americans now in their 40s who say the experience made them more
tolerant and comfortable with people of other races and ethnicities, says
lead author Amy Stuart Wells, who studies the sociology of education at Columbia
University's Teachers College. In many cases, their experiences in high school
were the only chance they got to interact regularly with peers of different
races. Rest of story
