Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "We hope this ruling sends the message that government cannot choose who receives the opportunity to attend public schools based on race or ethnicity.""Parents Defending Education is thrilled by Judge Claude Hilton's vindication of the courageous parents in Coalition for TJ who stood up against racism and injustice," Parents Defending Education President Nicole Neily said.
45% : ""The Board members need not harbor racial animus to act with discriminatory intent," but, Hilton ruled quoting case law, strict scrutiny applies when government actions "are motivated by a racial purpose or object" and "the record demonstrates that the Board harbored such a purpose."
