Stat of the Day: Diversity in Public Education

According to the Pew Hispanic Center Publication:

• In the 1994 - 1995 school year, 35% of white public school students attended nearly all-white schools (less than 5% non-white); In the 2005 - 2006 school year, this number shrank to 21%
• Over the same period, the number of Hispanic and black students attending nearly all-minority schools grew. For Hispanics, this number grew from 25% to 29%, and for blacks from 28% to 31%.

What are the implications of this, assuming their is academic value in diversity?
