| Venue: | SCOTUS |
| Facts: | Inner Detroit is very black, and no amount of intra-district fiddling is going to change that. The nearby suburbs are pretty white-- maybe we should integrate across districts. |
| Posture: | District court enters a degree that implicates 53 suburban districts, even though there was no finding of de jure segregation in the suburban districts. |
| Issue: | Can a federal court impose a multidistrict remedy to fix single-district segregation? |
| Holding: | No. Reversed. |
| Rule: | Unless the district lines were drawn in a discriminatory fashion, or folks are bussing city white kids out to the suburbs, there's no constitutional duty to do this for the black children. |
| Reasoning: | Local control over school districts is a big deal. |
