This chapter reconstructs the forgotten history of choice, which was originally adopted as a strategy for maintaining segregation and inequality and was rejected by the courts until civil rights requirements were added. It recounts the way those lessons have been forgotten in a conservative era, with very similar results: increasing inequality and separation.

Keywords:   freedom of choice, constitutional law, civil rights standards, Supreme Court and desegregation policy, magnet schools, charter schools and segregation
