Definition

  • McDaniel v. Barresi (1971) was a challenge to a school board plan in Clarke County, Georgia, where African American students were reassigned to schools away from their neighborhood to achieve greater racial balance. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was constitutional for school officials to consider race when assigning elementary school children to specified schools, with the goal of implementing a desegregation order.
