These Two Cases Raise Key Questions (But Offer Ambiguous Answers) about School Desegregation.

Sendor, Benjamin

American School Board Journal, v173 n1 p12-13 Jan 1987

The Supreme Court's decision not to review the Virginia case leaves school boards and federal courts without guidance on questions raised by resegregation. (MLF)
