Brightly lit Vidalia High with a fresh library stands in stark contrast to worn Ferriday High, surrounded by barbed wire and 90% Black, highlighting persistent inequalities in Louisiana’s Concordia Parish, still under court-ordered desegregation after 60 years. Now, under pressure from Gov. Landry and AG, the Justice Department plans to start unwinding these historic orders, claiming they’re outdated relics. Critics view this as an erosion of civil rights gains, while proponents say it eases burdens on districts. Is it a step toward equality or a setback?

The only reason to pursue this case is to prove you are a #racist asshole.
The #Trump admin’s efforts to overturn a 1960s #school #desegregation court order is facing pushback…
After the judge refused to close the books on a desegregation case dating back to the 1960s, the school system & #Louisiana filed an appeal…
The school system has become a focal point in the admin’s attempt to end legal cases that reach back to the #CivilRights era.

Federal troops escorted nine brave Black students into Little Rock Central High School, enforcing desegregation.
🎓 A Sonnet for Integration:
They walked through walls of spit and shouted hate,
Their books held tight like shields against the storm.
Though fear and rage stood guard at every gate,
They carved a path to make the future form...#LittleRockNine #ThisDayInHistory #Desegregation #Poetry #CivilRights #EshuElegbara

US District Judge Dee Drell has yet to decide on the request.
#Trump’s #DOJ & #Louisiana’s AG have worked to end older #desegregation cases they claim are no longer needed. In April, they lifted a 1965 order in LA’s #PlaqueminesParish.
#Concordia’s filing says the orders interfere with local control.
In July, the #NAACP Legal Defense Fund filed a brief arguing that there is “significant evidence that vestiges of #discrimination continue to harm #Black #students” in Concordia’s #schools.

WTAF?
The #Trump administration is siding with a #Louisiana #SchoolDistrict that says it should be released from decades-old #desegregation orders that some advocates say are still needed to address racial disparities.
In a motion filed Friday, the DOJ & the #ConcordiaParish #SchoolBoard agreed to dismiss a 1960s case that required the small district to integrate its #PublicSchools. Court orders have remained in place to address lingering impacts of #segregation.

And the #Marines were held in reserve on several occasions: after #MLK won his battle against Bull Connor in the 1963 #Birmingham, #Alabama, campaign for #desegregation of downtown stores, during which firebombings of a #CivilRights headquarters & King’s brother’s hotel room had sparked riots, & during the 1963 #MarchOnWashington.

The 12 years spanning 1957 to 1968 were a period of great societal tumult & revolution, especially over #race & the #VietnamWar. Of the 8 deployments, 2 were to enforce #desegregation court orders, most famously at #LittleRock, #Arkansas, in 1957. 4 were to quell riots, 3 of which were part of the numerous outbreaks across the country that followed the #assassination of #MartinLutherKingJr in 1968.

Since Jan, #DOJ’s #CivilRights division has paused probes of alleged #police #abuse, launched its first investigation into whether #LosAngeles violated #gun rights laws, & following #Trump's lead, changed the dept's stance on #transgender rights & probed alleged *#antisemitism* at US #colleges involving pro-#Palestinian #protesters.
The dept also recently ended a decades-old school #desegregation order in #Louisiana that came about in the wake of #SCOTUS’ #BrownVBoardOfEducation case.

Here’s your friendly reminder that #charterschools came about as a white reaction to #desegregation, which tells you all you need to know about the intended beneficiaries of #SchoolVouchers. But if there’s no #departmentofeducation there’s no one to ensure #IDEA and other #civilrights are being enforced in your new for-profit “#schools. Neither will there be a nonprofit group collecting #data to track #educational outcomes for #students attending for-profit schools.

"The Impact of a Boston Desegregation Busing Program on Student Outcomes"
"The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program in Boston is a voluntary program for urban students and suburban school districts, that busses non-White students from Boston to wealthier, Whiter suburbs.
"Elizabeth Setren examines how participation in the METCO program affected students over the period 1991 through 2020.
"METCO students attend schools where a much higher percentage of the students plan to go to a four-year college than in the Boston public school system..
"Boston students who are bused to suburban school districts through the METCO school desegregation program have stronger academic and labor market outcomes than similar students who apply to be bussed but are not selected..
"At age 35, on average, students who were selected to participate in the METCO program make $16,250 more than those who applied to the program but were not selected from the waitlist."
