	Omaha gets hard lesson on race, school integration \| Chicago Tribune (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Question: Despite decades of concerted efforts to integrate them, the public schools in Omaha, like those in many urban centers, have ended up starkly segregated along racial lines, the result of changing urban demographics and the exodus of many white families to outlying suburbs.
		But because housing in the city tends to be divided along racial and economic lines, many neighborhood schools have ended up with dramatic racial imbalances: in 19 of the city's 60 elementary schools, for example, more than 80 percent of the children are minorities, according to Omaha Public Schools data.
		His argument was the opposite of Mackiel's: Given that efforts to integrate Omaha's schools have failed, Chambers said, it would be better to acknowledge that fact and let parents of color directly control the schools their children attend.
