See the school segregation case?

Does recent ruling (Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School Dist. No. 1) go against Brown v Board of Education or does it support Brown v Board of Education?

This issue has been discussed ad nausem on this forum. For a complete review of the actual issues along with links to the briefs, both attorney and amicus and the actual opinions including the history of the cases, look at my post here:

looks like it goes against. My local school district has a zoning loophole where you can go to a school that you are not zoned for by using a M and M transfer (Minority to Majority) - where if a black or Hispanic parent wanted his child to go to the majority white school, they could (no transportation provided). I just wonder if this violates the new ruling??hmmmmm.....

If the kid can't pass the grade. He or she should not pass. I had to spend another year in 4th grade cus i messed up. My mother and i had a talk .I went to college.+.







No favors.you don't pass ,you don't go.[anywhere]!!!!!

It depends how you read Brown. If you read Brown as requiring an end to segregated schools, this decision goes against Brown as it says that there are no problems if the system used to assign children to schools results in schools that are, in fact, segregated by race. If you read Brown as saying that you can't use race to keep children out of a certain school, this decision would be consistent with Brown.

In response to a previous answer, this decision effectively bans programs that allow majority to minority transfers (programs that approve transfers if the student seeking to transfer is leaving a school at which they are members of the majority racial group and going to a school in which they would be members of the minority racial group). This type of program was a common means used by school districts seeking to desegregate (often under court orders) and was continued by such districts after they were released from judicial supervision. Under the new ruling, the district must treat all students seeking to transfer the same without regard to the racial composition of the school they are seeking to leave or the school they are seeking to enter.

I think it is consistent with Brown v. Board. The court is pretty clear in its rational for both cases, and they are quite similar.
