Supreme court to confront school racial diversity
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court confronts whether race can be used in deciding where students to go to school on Monday, testing the willingness of President George W. Bush’s two newest court appointees to overturn programs to foster racial diversity.It’s about time this was redressed. While I believe affirmative action was usefull in the past to help level the playing field I think in this day for someone to get a position either in a job or educationally, simply because of race, is discrimatory against others who have worked hard. Only when someones qualifications are identical can other factors intervene. Those factors may not just extend to race. They may extend to verbal communication, sense of humor, in other words.. personality. You can not legislate against someone making choices based on someone’s personality. Everyone makes choices based on the personalities in play legislated or not. My biggest problem is with the forcing of racial quotas. Any time there are quotas in play there will be discrimination against someone.
In a pair of cases that could affect millions of students nationwide, the high court will consider whether the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equality allows public elementary, middle and high schools to use race as a factor in admissions.
A sharply divided Supreme Court voted 5-4 in 2003 when it last addressed similar issues and ruled that racial preferences can be used in university admission decisions.
In one case before the high court, Seattle used race as a tie-breaking factor in deciding who gets into which of the city’s public high schools when too many students seek admission to the same school.
School officials there aim for each school to have about 40 percent white students and 60 percent racial minorities, reflecting the city’s overall racial composition.
In the other case, the Louisville, Kentucky-area school district used racial guidelines to keep black student enrollment at most elementary, middle and high schools at between 15 percent and 50 percent to maintain diversity.
A group of parents in Seattle and the parent of a white student in Louisville who had been denied entry into his neighborhood school challenged the use of race.
Their lawyers said the Supreme Court has yet to decide a case involving a school district’s voluntary use of race-based pupil assignments for a purpose other than to remedy the effects of past segregation.
Both supporters and opponents of the programs cited the Supreme Court’s historic Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 that outlawed racial segregation in the nation’s public schools.

I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
and I want to get the most bang for my buck.
Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:
http://tinyurl.com/38sojf
This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.
Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.
You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
there as low as 75% off sticker price.
