Educational policy and the courts: The case of Washington,D. C.

Since 1954, the courts have assumed a great deal of leadership in setting educational policy. In each instance, citizen dissatisfaction with the educational process has led to court suits, often resulting in massive or disruptive changes. However, the blame cannot and should not be leveled on the courts. The problems and solutions have clearly rested with boards of education, local and state legislative bodies, and executives. Their failure to respond affirmatively to various issues is clearly the problem.The District of Columbia presents a marvelous example of governmental inaction and what can result. This paper provides a brief judicial history of education in the District and what the implications have been. The reader must keep in mind that although the District is a city, its government, especially the Board of Education, functions as though on a state level. Thus, court decrees concerning education in Washington, D. C. may give other states the incentive to improve the education of all students, regardless of ethnic or economic background.[/p]Julius Hobson, Jr. is a Member of the District of Columbia Board of Education Washington, D.

试论战后初期美国首都的种族隔离问题及其初步解决

战后初期,美国首都的种族隔离制度不仅让本地黑人居民饱受其苦,也让来自首都之外的美国有色人种访客深受打击。而当地对于外国非白人来客的类似歧视,更严重损害了美国的国际形象及外交关系。首都种族隔离问题得到了美国众多民权活动者及组织的关注,其中,以恩布里为首的首都隔离问题全国委员会进行了社会调查,旨在激发全国乃至世界对美国首都种族问题的关注、增进种族间的相互了解、减少从司法层面废除种族隔离的障碍。这一调查促进了废除华盛顿住房、公共场所、公立学校种族隔离司法诉讼的胜利,让华盛顿严密的种族隔离体系开始产生"裂缝",并奏响了全国种族关系改革的前奏。
