CNN citing Wake in report on "the return of school segregation"

The Wake County school system doesn't come off looking too good in a recent  CNN news report by Soledad O'Brien.

Wake is used as the example for the segment called "the return of school segregation" that aired multiple times last week on CNN. O'Brien says Wake schools were "fully integrated" under the old diversity policy and that critics of the move to neighborhood schools "worry that schools in poor neighborhoods will be neglected."

"'Neighborhood schools' means students attend school closest to where they live," O'Brien says. "A black neighborhood means a black school, a white neighborhood, a white school."
