Ng, Kenneth – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2001
Measured the wealth redistribution effected by southern schools and the taxes that supported them using data from a large sample of southern states for 1880 through 1910.

Dorn, Sherman – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2001
Ng suggests that a funding scheme that is dramatically unequal in direct spending can still be fair, but his measure of fairness, net subsidy, flies in the face of all government public-good spending practices. Politicians trying to avoid the issue of unequal funding should not take comfort from Ng's analysis. (SLD)

It's a little-known fact, but, 50 years ago, the junior high and high schools of Topeka, Kan., were integrated--though in name only.

Wilson, Blenda J. – Connection: The Journal of the New England Board of Higher Education, 2005
If one was an African-American student in a large Northern city 50 years ago, his public school, very likely, would have been segregated--even in New England. Only one year earlier, in "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas," the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that legally sanctioned school segregation violated the 14th Amendment…

Recent research on "Brown v. Board of Education" has emphasized continuing disparities in the education of White and African American students.
