The contest stems from the U.S. Supreme Court's review of two critical cases could limit the ability of communities to promote racially and ethnically diverse local schools and avoid racial segregation. These cases mark a turning point in the nation's response to the Court's unanimous 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, in which the Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" has no place in the field of public education.
