Supreme Court: Limits Race in School Assignment Plans

Finally a decision on one of the most anticipated decisions of the session - whether race can play a significant role in distributing children in public schools, specifically in Louisville and Seattle. This may be the death throes of a forced desegregation movement that saw phenomena like Boston's forced busing. Details are still slim, I'll update later with more.

UPDATE: SCOTUSblog finally got some analyses and the like up: here, here, and here; the full opinion (all 185 pages of it) is here.

UPDATE 2: Washington Wire has a simple, easy round-up of the case.
