"When courts lifted their school desegregation orders in the 1990s - declaring that black and white students were now "integrated" in America's public schools - it seemed that a window of opportunity would open for Latinos, Asians, and people of other races and ethnicities to influence school reform efforts.

"Voter turnout was unusually high in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. At first glance, that level of participation--largely spurred by war in Iraq and a burgeoning culture war at home--might look like vindication of democracy.

Citizens are participating in public affairs too infreque ..."
