Fifty years ago, Brown v. Board of Education made several promises to our nation’s young people. One was that schools could not be segregated by race. Another was that our nation’s public schools would make education available to all groups of students on equal terms.

Looking at the data, tragically, we see a very unequal system for Latino students in California.
