“Getting Schooled in Mississippi”

On Tuesday a federal judge ordered the school district of Tylertown, Mississippi to stop segregating black and white children in elementary schools. The judge also ordered Mississippi into the 21st Century.

The case proved one shocking point: Mississippi does have schools.

The racial segregation in the case seemed to be limited to elementary school students, from kindergarten through 5th grade. This means the affected students were between the ages of 5 and 19.
