[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The law has been clear about segregation, whether de jure or de facto:

Disparate impact theory has been successfully upheld by the Supreme Court with regard to location of Affordable Housing: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/25/417433460/in-fair-housing-act-case-supreme-court-backs-disparate-impact-claims

But keep trying to maintain that where people live and where they are able to send their children to school is in any way a choice, or that separate can ever be equal. [/quote]

But what's the law that you're trying to strike down as discriminatory based on its disparate impact?  There is no law that prevents people from moving to a different school district.  It almost sounds like you're claiming the government has a legal obligation to pass more laws to prevent any disparate impact from occurring in education.  Is that what you're saying?[/quote]
