The Supreme Court supported “the reassignment of students by race”. They “overturned a neighborhood school Policy that produced many racially isolated schools” (Ravitch, 1983, p. 175). People Involved: Chief Justice Warren Burger Comments: The reassignment of students to other schools (busing) was done to balance schools racially. References: Ravitch, D. (1983).
