While reading, I noticed a focus on segregation according the the poverty line. Having experience in a class in a town with a low poverty line, I have personally noticed a sort of segregation between the students in my classroom. I really thought of Delpit when thinking about this. She reminds us that everyone has these issues regardless of what kind of school or place your working in. Because she focuses on the "rules and codes of power", I feel that she means that the segregation shouldn't be about the poverty, but it should be the segregation between teacher and student.
"Brown vs. Board of Education" was one of the main acts of the end of racism. But even though we want to believe that this is true and actually happened, the issue is still going on. As a future educator, I think that is it very important to make young people aware of these types of things and tell them that the only way to end it is to start with yourself and your own acts. I was told this as a child and knowing that this is still going on, it shows that our country as a whole doesn't realize the issues at hand and that things need to be done to change it and in a big way.
I thought this site was very information about the case and it was a great reference I wanted to share :)
