Book Review: A Fine Line by Tim DeRoche


I received an ARC from NetGalley and Redtail Press in exchange for my honest review.

A Fine Line: How Most American Kids Are Kept Out of the Best Public Schools by Tim DeRoche
Publisher: Redtail Press
Ages: Adult
Release Date: 17 May 2020

Sixty-six years after the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case changed the face of segregated schools, it turns out that not all that much has really changed to equal the playing field for our children's educations. Arbitrary lines are now being drawn to edge out the already under-privileged families.

The facts presented in this are disheartening to say the least and seeing the attendance zone maps is disturbing. How is this something that is still being allowed in 2020?

I would not only recommend this book for your library collection, but I urge everyone to read it themselves.
