The basic question under the Constitution in this case was, "Can I be denied admission to a educational institution based solely on my race when my taxes are used to fund the institution."

I recall that there was, at the time a great deal of controversy, mainly centering on "states rights" and, more directly, "race mixing".

From my conservative prospective, I couldn't see then and cannot see now any justification for segregation. Period.
