Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 — Stevens, J., dissenting

Summary

Justice Stevens dissents, joining Justice Breyer’s dissent entirely. He argues that racial classifications for integration differ from those for segregation, criticizes the rigid application of strict scrutiny, and contends that the Chief Justice misinterprets Brown v. Board of Education. Stevens relies on prior precedents supporting integration plans, concludes the Court has departed from Brown.
