Are school-integration policies constitutional?

Yes. Policies that use race as one of many factors in school admissions help maintain educational equality for all students. Also, diversity fosters interracial harmony and contributes to student achievement.

No. It is unjust to deny a student admission to a school based on his or her racial background. School-assignment policies should be color blind in order to guarantee equal protection under the law.
