After 61 years, a Louisiana school board and the Trump administration have ended an oversight agreement intended to curb segregation.
According to AP, the consent decree ordering desegregation at Bossier Parish Schools was originally issued in 1964.
Bossier Parish Schools argued that the consent decree was a relic of a time when Black students were forbidden from attending schools.
Louisiana already doesn’t rank high when it comes to education, but this move definitely puts the academic prospects for Black students at risk.
