Excuse me, supreme court?

Milliken Case 1974: Detroit implemented an inter-district solution which transferred students across district lines to create racially integrated schools--declared unconstitutional because you could only do this if you could prove that the date was creating policies to segregate schools


Keyes Case 1973: Forced desegregation within a district--the court said no, unless they could prove that the school board was doing things to segregate schools


Dowell 1992: Desegregation decree should end if the board complied in good faith

There are other court cases in which desegregation and/or equality in school districts was addressed. YET the courts deemed these cases as irrelevant and completely disregarded the importance of equal access to good education. All of this happened after the important Brown vs. Board case which integrated schools. Unfortunately after B vs. B white flight occurred, de facto segregation in the North was prevalent, and there was inadequate funding across districts. I think the United States does a really good job at taking a step forward but two steps back. It seems as if any time we try to make progress, we're held back by other reoccurring problems. The Supreme Court has made unorthodox decisions and it makes me wonder how they can morally declare desegregation as unconstitutional. Well, we can easily look to see who controlled the Supreme Courth--upper-middle class, white men who clearly do not want any kind of upward mobilization for anyone except their own race. How did the Supreme Court get away with declaring all of these cases as unconstitutional when the Brown vs. Board case went in the favor of integration? How ignorant are we in this country? Fortunately we have made progress in the Supreme Court but there still seems to be a hidden system that continues to segregate schools.
