<p>though i believe in AA, i do not think this ruling will help the integration of schools at all. It's like a easy way out, they wouldn't be solving anything with the policy. America's always trying to find a way to please people without actually spending more money. This policy would be just as ineffective as "No Child Left Behind" rich kids (which in most cases are white kids) will just be sent by their parents to better private schools, leaving the poorer children in the public schools. Maybe or maybe not would not be so bad, but I believe there are better ways than this. </p>
<p>And as progressive as I am, I don't think it's fair to make people pay property taxes to fund schools that their children may not attend. If they were going to do this they would have to change the policy of property taxes funding schools</p>
<p>Idk, maybe i don't understand the situation much but from what I've read and heard, the idea seemed weak. If you have any objections to my post feel free to reply</p>
<p>I'm not a big fan of this decision, but I do understand its intentions. What I am afraid of is the ruling that would be handed down by the court in the event a college or employment case arises. The court's trend has shown that the majority feel race is becoming inconsequential, and that is alarming.</p>
<p>and I do think there should be more integration in schools but what happens to the schools in improvised areas that these kids are bussed away? Do the kids left behind there have to deal with worse situations? Or do they bus kids from affluent neighborhoods into these schools?</p>
<p>^^ perhaps they believe in minimal governmental intervention with our lives instead of all being racists who want to make blacks suffer? some folks need to get over the thought that everyone in the world is out to get you</p>
<p>NOT true. Until organizations like the widely followed NAACP and the KKK feel as if they have accomplished their goal or just give up, there will be the divisions of race in our society. "Black Nationalism" and "White Power" are still here and they keep the concept of race alive.</p>
<p>As long as <em>insert race</em> can walk into a room of <em>insert race</em> and feel different, there will be divisions of race in our society.</p>

This disgusting ruling is the first step in overturning Brown v. Board of Education.

<p>I disagree.</p>
<p>Brown ruled that “separate but equal” was inherently unequal. It ruled that segregation was illegal. That is, it was illegal to deny a student entrance to a public school because the student was black. Thankfully, President Eisenhower did not pull a Jackson and defy the Supreme Court. He dispatched the National Guard to ensure that the Court’s ruling was enacted.</p>
<p>This ruling strengthens Brown by making sure that students can’t be denied entrance to schools because of their race.</p>
<p>I applaud the Court for making this ruling.</p>
<p>It's a fine ruling, but too assume this ruling was due to race over the fact that kids were being taken across town for schooling for no reason is going a bit too far.</p>
<p>If "separate but equal" is so bad, then why do we have male washrooms and female washrooms, male changerooms and female changerooms, male events and female events at the Olympics, etc.?</p>
<p>well, secretfire, we don't LIVE in history. if all the black race does is mourning the past, it will never move forward. perhaps the first step toward racial integration is for blacks to stop claiming everything and everyone to be racist haters?</p>
<p>Justice Roberts finally has said what I have espoused for years: to wit:</p>
<p>"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race," Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said in writing for the court's majority</p>
