Supreme Court rejects school race plans
By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected diversity plans in two major school districts that take race into account in assigning students but left the door open for using race in limited circumstances
The decision in cases affecting schools in Louisville, Ky., and Seattle could imperil similar plans in hundreds of districts nationwide, and it further restricts how public school systems may attain racial diversity.
The court split, 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts announcing the court's judgment. The court's four liberal justices dissented.
The districts "failed to show that they considered methods other than explicit racial classifications to achieve their stated goals," Roberts said.
