Learning Together: an occasional series on efforts to address segregation

More than six decades after the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision banning segregation, the United States is still struggling with how to prioritize making education equal for all students. 

With segregation on the rise, the Monitor's EqualEd section wanted to see how different communities are responding to it and what progress they are making. We hope you’ll follow along as we explore an issue that is at the heart of a democratic society.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
