Post the final draft of your paper here. The final paper (10-`12 pages) will give you a chance to think more deeply and work out more complex arguments than the weekly assignments and discussions do. Your papers should demonstrate mastery of course material and make interesting claims and arguments about important issues. You’ll need to support your own position and address counterarguments, that is, the things some of our authors or others have said that would go against your position. Show why you think your arguments are stronger than those supporting a contrary position. Try to write clearly. Please use 12-point font and one-inch margins. Give your paper a title. Make sure to provide a reference list of the readings and other sources you use. You need to use at least ten sources from the course in a substantial way. You may use any recognized style, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, or Turabian. If you vary from a recognized style do so thoughtfully and consistently; otherwise, your reader may get confused.
I will provide the sources for this assignment
Racial and Social Discrimination in the United States educational system.
In this proposal, I will discuss the link between racial discrimination and education. My proposal uses various sources including literature and political science. It breaks down the various components of social structure into different categories. I came to two points to discuss my proposal. The first is the definition of racial discrimination in education. It refers to the systematic discrimination set by actions of schools and states against black students in education. I propose a reformulation of the question “When are racial gaps in education not caused by discrimination?” This question can be used to identify solutions to the racial divide in education. Even if we do not believe that racial discrimination causes educational inequality, schools should still have a role in addressing these issues.

Feedback: When you say “set by actions of schools and states,” that seems to call for distinguishing the period after passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act from what came before, and possibly distinguishing the middle third of the 20th century from the late 20th century when conservatives gained power and began resegregating schools &c. Are you drawing a distinction between racial and social discrimination? If so, make it clear to the reader. Make sure to use material from later in the term.
