Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District In this case, the Supreme court is going to rule that it is not enough to desegregate local schools. In places like big cities in the north where all the whites are in suburbs and blacks are in cities, you have to integrate the two schools. Local school districts start busing blacks to white schools and bus white kids to ghetto black schools. This is going to upset a lot of white folks in the north.

It's okay for race to play a small role in admissions process. Is to be heard by the Supreme court.

Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School district is a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that prohibited assigning students to public schools solely for the purpose of achieving racial integration and declined to recognize racial balancing as a compelling state interest.[1] In a 5-4 opinion delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, five justices held that the School Boards did not present any "compelling state interest" that would justify the assignment of school seats on the basis of race.
