The Coleman Report (Link to University of Washington web site)

By Doug Mann -(Edited by UW Sociology Department).

       A Selection of comments from an on-line dialogue taking place prior to school board elections in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Assigned reading for Sociology 401 / Service learning program (teacher training in association with the Seattle Public Schools), University of Washington, Spring 2004.
