Public Schools & Diversity
Some school districts are refusing to allow students to attend neighborhood schools in order to create diversity.
But parents, including some blacks, in both districts sued after their children were denied entry to neighborhood schools or schools they otherwise wanted to attend. They say the districts' policies discriminate on the basis of race, something the 14th Amendment to the Constitution doesn't permit. The parents are supported in both cases by the Bush administration, which has consistently argued that while diversity is a compelling interest, it must be achieved through race-neutral means.
