I'm continually amazed that those with the most to lose are the least involved ~ that sort of apathy frightens me.

It has me thinking about intersections and parallels of civil rights issues. For those who&#39;ve studied segregation, the terms &quot;de facto&quot; and &quot;de jure&quot; are familiar. They mean &quot;in fact&quot; and &quot;by law&quot; and they are used to describe the reality of segregation in the United States today. Segregation in schools, for example, has been illegal since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 yet there is a great deal of de facto segregation in American schools.</p><p><a href="http://sexinthepublicsquare.org/elizabethsblog/access-denied">read more</a></p> http://sexinthepublicsquare.org/elizabethsblog/access-denied#comments abortion activism blog for choice civil rights pro choice Tue, 22 Jan 2008 02:47:28 -0800 Elizabeth 550 at http://sexinthepublicsquare.org
