Supreme Court Undermines Brown Vs Board Of Education

To end discrimination you have to stop discriminating. Seems simple enough, but to end years of institutionalized discrimination the government put into place a system to attempt to assure schools had a better balance of diversity. Today that system was tossed out on its ear.

The Supreme Court in a landmark ruling has taken a step toward re-institutionalizing the racism that was remedied with Brown vs Board of Education. The decision today limits the school boards ability to manage the racial makeup of the student bodies in their schools.

The long term effects of this may be a big problem. Schools will be free to go back to the neighborhood school systems that assure all black and all withe schools.

It seems to me like this court is trying to roll back the clock as fast as they can before the next administration. Like a football team trying to run up the score before the clock runs out. Unfortunately, justice is not football but this court doesn't realize that.
