"Missouri v. Jenkins" Redux: The End of the Road for School Desegregation or Another Stop on an Endless Journey?

Russo, Charles J.; Rossow, Lawrence F.

West's Education Law Quarterly, v5 n1 p69-80 Jan 1996

The Supreme Court's ruling in "Missouri versus Jenkins" signalled a further retrenchment in the struggle to end racial segregation in the schools. The majority held that the federal district court exceeded the bounds of its broad discretion in its mandated desegregation remedy. Reviews the Court's holding in detail and reflects on the decision's effect on school districts. (57 footnotes) (MLF)
