resegregating
Returning to segregation
Resegregating is the present participle of resegregate, meaning to separate people by race, ethnicity, or other characteristics after a period of integration.
The term appears most often in discussions of schools and neighborhoods that had previously been desegregated but are returning to demographic separation, whether through policy, economic forces, or residential patterns.
Critics argue that charter schools are resegregating urban districts.
