Behind America’s Move to End School Integration Efforts

Let’s talk about what everyone will talk about next—again. Just this week, the Justice Department quietly ended a decades-old desegregation order in Louisiana—and it’s probably just the beginning. In the civil rights era, these orders ensured schools worked toward integration.

But now, the Trump administration says it’s redressing a “historical wrong,” saying mandates have become pointless headaches. Critics say ending these agreements isn’t just about paperwork; it says America doesn’t care about racial equality. With dozens more districts on board, the classroom might be the next place to rewrite history.
