Native Americans:
-the history of native American education is a story of largely unsuccessful attempts to assimilate them
+assimilation: the process of socailizing people to adopt the dominant society’s social norms and patterns of behavior

+schools were a complete failure

 Hispanic Americans:

-36% of the US Hispanic population have less than a high school education
-language differences have been the source of many problems

 Asian Americans:
-Asian immigrants were initially welcomed because they relieved an acute labor shortage in the west, but competition for jobs messed it up
-typically score higher than members of other minorities, called the “model minority”

Swann v Charlotte-Mecklenburg BOE
-Sixteen years after  Brown v. Board of Education decision
-the Swanns, an African-American family in Charlotte, North Carolina, brought suit when their children were not allowed to attend the city's white schools
-In its ruling, the Supreme Court stated that all schools within a given district didn't strictly have to reflect the district's racial make-up.

That in 2016 36% of the US Hispanic population have less than a high school education. 

Official segregation is gone, shout out to Brown v Board.
