- "The Truth About Segregation in Ferndale Schools" The New Jim Crow in American education—argument against the emerging system of separate, unequal, charter schools in Metro Detroit.
BAMN is fighting to realize the vision of Martin Luther King of an integrated, equal society. Separate is inherently unequal. Equal opportunity can only be achieved by creating integrated, quality education for all.
BAMN is organizing students and communities to stop the right wing's efforts to ban affirmative action and integration programs from K-12 to college. We are organizing to stop President Obama's effort to break up and end public education by supplanting public schools with separate, unequal charter schools. We demand full funding for public schools and the end of de facto racial segregation in American education.
