Abstract	America's schools are more segregated now than they were in the late 1960s. More than 50 years after "Brown v. Board of Education," educators need to radically rethink the meaning of "school choice." For decades at Wake County, buses would pick up public school students in largely minority communities along the Raleigh Beltline. This system won Wake County praise from many integration advocates--but locally, people were less enchanted. In late 2008, a wave of anti-busing sentiment swept in new school board members who promised to support neighborhood schools and keep kids closer to home. This article explores the question on how educators can integrate schools when the Supreme Court has ruled that race and diversity can't be a factors in school assignments. The author agrees with what Amy Stuart Wells said that educators need to rethink what choice means, and they need to realize that it isn't inmical to the "civil rights" approach to integration. He offers suggestions on what educators can do to address the problem of segregation. (ERIC).
