Brown v. the Board of Education – Meet Louisville and Seattle
Here’s a two-sentence summary of the latest news on two school integration cases (both loaded with far-reaching implications) that will be unfolding in the nation’s top court this fall, then heard by the Supremes in December:
“The Bush administration has urged the Supreme Court to strike down voluntary school integration programs across the nation that exclude some students because of their race.
“Administration lawyers filed briefs this week in pending cases from Seattle and Louisville, Ky., on the side of white parents who are challenging "racial balancing" programs as unconstitutional.” DAVID G. SAVAGE of the Los Angeles Times lays out and analyzes the details.
