Segregating Districts by Race??

AuthorJustin Bathon on DateWednesday, May 17, 2006 at 12:24PM

A lawsuit has been filed against the state of Nebraska by the NAACP. The suit claims that the Omaha Public Schools are being split up into three districts that the NAACP claims are based on race (White, Hispanic, and African American).



This should be interesting because there is really no hiding the fact
that the district boundaries are based on race. In fact, the bill's
sponser (who is African American) has clearly stated so. 
Therefore, this is moving back toward de jure segregation, which is clearly outlawed in the tradition of Brown.
