- W1151909485 abstract "EMERGING NATIONWIDE STANDARDS FOR SCHOOL DESEGREGATION- CHARLOTTE AND MOBILE, 1971 By KENNETH L. KARST AND HAROLD W. HOROWITZ N schools THOSE were STATES where segregated the public by racially command of law; it has been the constitu- tional duty of the school authorities, at least since 1955,1 to dismantle dual school systems and replace them with ra- cially nondiscriminatory systems. The transition was to be effected with all deliberate speed. '2 The Supreme Court, its collective patience worn thin by the repeated triumphs of deliberation over speed in southern school districts, an- nounced in 1968 that time for the con- version had run out: The burden on a school board today is to come forward with a plan that promises realistically to work, 3 and prom- ises realistically to work now. The occasion for this pronouncement was the case of Green v. County School Board of New Kent County, 4 in which the Court held unconstitutional the free- dom of choice plan that had been adopted by the school board of a rural Virginia county. A year later, in reject- ing the plea of the United States for re- laxation of some immediate desegrega- tion decrees in Mississippi, the Court laid the all deliberate speed formula to rest: Under explicit holdings of this Court the obligation of every school district is to terminate dual school systems at once and now and hereafter only unitary to operate schools. 5 The question of the timing of desegre- gation was thus placed beyond dispute. What remained unclear, however, a dec- ade and a half after Brown v. Board of Education, 6 was the very substance of the constitutional right in question: What does it mean to terminate a dual sys- tem - or, indeed, what is a unitary system? In two 1971 decisions, the Court began to provide some clarification. The cases, unlike Green, came from urban school districts; the cities were Char- lotte, North Carolina and Mobile, Ala- bama. There were those who, recalling the 1968 presidential campaign and President Nixon's 1970 memorandum on school desegregation, 7 expected some de- parture from Green, or at least a pro- nouncement that in an urban context the neighborhood school policy satisfied the constitutional requirement of a uni- tary school system. One significant fea- ture of the 1971 decisions is that the Court did no such thing, recalling Sher- lock Holmes' curious incident. ' An equally significant feature of the 1971 cases is that they provide the basis for identifying emerging nationwide stan- dards for school desegregation. 1. Brown v.

In the story Silver Blaze, Dr. Watson and Holmes had the following colloquy: Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention? To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. The dog did nothing in the night-time. That was the curious incident. A. C. DOYLE, MEMOIRS os- SHERLOCK HOLMES, vol. III, 22 (1904). For this citation we are grateful to our colleague Benjamin Aaron, who was able to go, with Holmeslike avoidance of waste motion, directly to the right story. This [passage] is perhaps the most famous example of what the late Monsignor Ronald Knox felicitiously termed the Sherlockismus. 2 THE ANNO- TATEr SHERLOCK HOLMES 276 (Baring-Gould ed. 1967)." @default.
