Swann v. Board

In class we had another mock trial, Swann v. board. A man named Darius Swan has a 6-year-old son assigned to go to a school in their district, known as the finger plan. Assigns kids to schools closest to their home. But he wants his kid to go to a better one. The school is supposed to accommodate the kid but he is black. School segregation was announced unconstitutional under brown v board. Schooling in white popular schools are more advanced. Black schools have limited supplies, bad buildings and less teachers. On the other side of things

Expansion on the court because they didn’t want to buss the kids. Title 4 act 1964, finance is a problem and time and traffic patterns will be an issue. Will need more gas, so more money which they don’t have. Kids will be on a bus for over an hour interrupting homework and extracurricular time.
