This article was of particular interest, after watching and reading discussions of Howard Fuller's with the High Tech schools regarding equity and understanding of race within education. Fuller and Chavous make an interesting argument that quality education trumps the notion of impacting desegregation in schools. I too agree, that should families and students qualify for scholastic scholarships that could potentially advance their education, the DOJ should not interfere with their desire to do so. How is this any different than students who leave other public schools around the US, to go to private or charter schools that best meet their needs- even if they do not go via scholarship?

From Judge Robert Carver, the articles quotes, "The immediate and urgent need of the black urban poor is the attainment, in real life terms and in settings of virtually total black-‐white school separation, at least of some of the benefits and protection of the constitutional guarantee of equal educational opportunity that Brown requires."
