“Separate is inherently unequal”.

If students were being placed in a certain class based on skill set, would it still be unequal? The article doesn’t go into this, and it may not even be a factor. I am just wondering if anyone knows how this would be viewed legally.

Brown v. Board of Education was about racial segregation.

Segregation by skill is acceptable and has never been challenged.

I've read right here at F.R., that some school districts are punishing students on a quota system now, after complaints that blacks were receiving a disproportionate amount of punishment, based solely on numbers.
