MCPS can try to defend themselves by claiming that they didn't use race but if any of their statements or internal documents show otherwise thus creates even bigger problems for them. They can try to argue that they should be able to use race to achieve their diversity goals. This is the interesting legal and political point. Based on the Seattle ruling, they should fail but if the courts were more activist (activist from the judicial definition meaning adhering to the philosophy to interpret the constitution based on the current social conditions rather than a stricter interpretation of the law) then they may expand that opening BUT the courts are all turning conservative/strict so its more likely to further limit the use of race in school assignments not open the door back up.

It has already been happening for decades. [/quote]

Isn't race irrelevant whereas SES diversity is the issue? [/quote]
