Pick up a book by Jonathon Kozol called "Savage Inequalities" and perhaps your views may alter.

Reading it forever changed me and brought me into the profession of education.

I have just been given "The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America," which I highly anticipate reading.

And also recommended on the Amazon page, not surprising, is "'Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?': A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity " A co-worker has recommended this to many of us that are not minorities to further understand and empower our ability to reach children in a very real way.
