MN school desegregation lawsuit heads back to court after Legislature declines to act on settlement

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : When the Minnesota Supreme Court revived the lawsuit in 2018, it wrote in a footnote that "It is self-evident that a segregated system of public schools is not 'general,' 'uniform,' 'thorough,' or 'efficient.'"
49% : Shulman has suggested numerous ways the government may be responsible for demographic imbalances in the schools, such as enacting open enrollment laws, exempting charter schools from integration rules and through the Department of Education's soft stance against districts that intentionally segregate.
45% : Jack Perry, attorney for two charter schools that intervened in the case, said a finding of segregation alone is not enough for the judge to rule in the plaintiffs' favor at this stage.
