deliberate speed in desegregation of schools
- deliberate speed in desegregation of schools
-
A concept enunciated by the United States Supreme Court several years ago after having declared that state laws requiring or permitting segregation of pupils in public schools, that is, denying Negro children admission to public schools attended by white children, were unconstitutional. Brown v Board of Education, 349 US 294, 99 L Ed 1083, 75 S Ct 753. The concept has never countenanced indefinite delay, although it was once recognized that a court properly might conclude that the relevant facts in a particular case justified school authorities in not attempting immediate nonsegrated admission of all qualified Negro children. Cooper v Aaron, 358 US 1, 20, 3 L Ed 2d 5, 19, 78 S Ct 1401. But much time has passed since the issue first arose, and it is to be said now that delays in the segregation of public school systems are no longer tolerable. Bradley v School Board of Education, 382 US 103, 15 L Ed 2d 187, 86 S Ct 224.
