In New Jersey, a lawsuit brought by Latino and Black families revealed alarming segregation in public schools, challenging the state's progressive image and igniting a push for reforms.
The state's attorney general suggested mediation to resolve the longstanding issue of school segregation, highlighting a rare proactive approach to address a problem that many other states are only wrestling with in court.
New Jersey's recent compromise talks signify a potential shift towards addressing public school segregation, a challenge that has persisted despite the legal precedents set by Brown v. Board of Education nearly 70 years ago.
As negotiations continue amidst the backdrop of a new school year, both sides face uncertainty in achieving a resolution to the entrenched segregation in New Jersey's schools.
