Today's SCOTUS Decision re: public school diversity considerations

[PeppyGPhiB]

And I'll just say again that I agree with the ruling by the Court. Open enrollment in a district is great, but only if kids get "first dibs" on spots in their neighborhood school. I think kids should be able to go to school down the street if they want to. I also think it saves the schools money in the long run, because they won't have to bus kids all over (though I'm not sure if the Seattle schools have been using buses for high schools anyway...they might use public bus).

Anyway, I think the Seattle School District has been using racial diversity as a way of distracting people from the issues of why some of its schools aren't performing better, and now with things more clear, they won't have any choice but to face the problems and try to solve them. That's a good thing.
