US Supreme Court to hear Maryland case involving race in school admissions
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported16m ago
The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will hear a challenge to admissions policies at a competitive suburban middle school in Maryland. The case involves a lawsuit brought by parents against a county's lottery admissions policy for four elite public middle schools, which they claim unlawfully discriminates against Asian American applicants.
The upcoming proceedings serve as a key test of the court's 2023 decision that invalidated affirmative action in higher education admissions. That prior ruling has left open questions regarding the extent and legality of measures addressing race in educational selection processes.
