Supreme Disappointment - Congress Members React to Supreme Court Ruling on School Diversity
June 28th, 2007Brown vs. Board of Education is under attack, and the newly appointed conservative members of the court are making diversity a dirty word. Democratic leaders in Congress, especially members of the Black Caucus, were hoping mad over the Supreme Court decision that essentially derailed the enforcement of Brown vs. Board of Education.

The Supreme Court Justices of the United States
Congressional Black Caucus Chair Carolyn Kilpatrick [(D-Mich.) pictured below: right] told me “this heinous ruling not only topples more than half a century of progress achieved under the Brown v. the Topeka, Kansas Board of Education decision, it encourages separation and segregation in private industry
and government as well as in education.’’ She pointed to the dissenting remarks by Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer who warned that “this is a decision that the Court and the Nation will come to regret.” Kilpatrick said the Congressional Black Caucus will continue to fight for quality education for all children; will confront the crises posed to us by the Supreme Court ruling, and will continue the legacy established by NAACP attorney and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to ensure that all American children attend and receive a quality education.”
Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings (D) (pictured below) agreed. He said“today’s school integration ruling was a major setback for this nation’s movement toward diversity.” “Since the Brown decision, increased integration of schools has benefited students of all backgrounds. Research shows that a diverse learning environment improves the
problem solving and communication skills of all students, which better prepares our nation to succeed in the global economy.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she is “extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision overriding the efforts of local communities to grapple with the complex issue of diversity in our schools. This decision is a retreat from our nation’s commitment to opportunity and equality in our schools and a retreat from the fundamental values of our country.”Leading Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama said they would do better if elected in appointing judges who have a commitment to civil rights.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said “this wrong-headed ruling underscores the critical importance of a
president’s appointments to the Supreme Court and a Justice Department’s commitment to civil rights enforcement. “I filed a brief in these cases, along with several of my colleagues in the Senate, which explained to the Court that a racially diverse learning environment has a profoundly positive educational impact on all students, and I remain devoted to working toward this goal. The Congress has the constitutional power and responsibility to address the resegregation of our schools, and I am committed to using that authority.” Sen. Hillary Clinton, (D-N.Y.) said, “Once again, the [John] Roberts (pictured right) Court has shown its willingness to erode core constitutional guarantees. It is a set back for all of us who are on the long march toward racial equality and the building of a stronger more unified America. As president, I will fight to restore Brown’s promise and create an education system where all children have an equal chance to learn and excel together.”

it sounds like in all of the courts wisdom the language of diversity is now in question.in my time in school elementary as well as high school i remember chicago’s school system being one of the worst in the country. and i dont think it was because of the lack of proper learning tools.it boils down to students taking their education serious. any amount of legislation wont change the drop out rate in minority communities.it is short sited to believe any legislation is a quick fix .in our schools the students fight,smoke and do what ever they want out side of the rules and otherwise, not to mention the teen pregnancy rate of minorities.do you think that is because white kids are more serious about education or maybe they have better schools .the fashionable answer would be a little of both .white kids smoke pot have sex and all of the above but somehow they seem to get to college .that is probably because like myself at the end of the day YOU have to get the work done.desegregating schools dont change attitudes of these kids.i have taught in public and private schools inner city and suburban mixed as well as exclusive what i have found to be true is in the schools that bussed kids in from the city as an educator i spent more time explaining to these kids their opportunity than teaching. and they spent most of their time complaining about being in a white school .let me get this straight do you want an education or not would be my question .even if all black schools had subpar learning tools does that explain the problems of these kids ?? or an excuse. we are a generation plus removed from the true battles for equal treatment and the subsequent generations have made a mockery of their fight, by not taking their opportunities given by those who fought and died seriously .and judging by the drop out rates ,school violence ,drug use and so many other issues i would see why i doesnt seem to work on paper and when that happens i would pull the plug too, speaking as someone who has been on both sides of the fence on these issues sorry but these kids dont need legislative help they need parental guidance.
