If you were a Supreme Court justice, would you approve the plan to desegregate multiple school

Milken v. Bradley (1974)
This case concerned the segregation practices of the Detroit school district, which was the fifth largest in the nation in 1970. Several black students and the NAACP filed the suit against the Detroit school district alleging past and present discrimination in the Detroit system, particularly in the drawing of school district and attendance zone boundaries. Lower courts found that there was discrimination and ordered the system to desegregate. Because of white flight to the suburbs, the Detroit school district was largely black, making it difficult to truly desegregate. A plan was devised to include surrounding majority white school districts in the desegregation plan, even though those districts had not engaged in any illegal segregation. This was believed necessary because without their participation, there could not be a racial balance in Detroit's schools.
If you were a Supreme Court justice, would you approve the plan to desegregate multiple schooldistricts even though only one school district had been found to have illegally discriminated?

No, just because it happened at one school doesn't mean all the other schools were doing it too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would vote to approve the desegregation of all schools no matter what.
ReplyDeleteyes i would just so they would have to desegregate regardless of if they were illegally segregating or not.
ReplyDeleteNo I think they should only punish the schools doing wrong.
