How the landmark case Swan v. Charlotte- Mecklenburg saw the courts approve mandatory bussing across school district lines in order to remedy residential segregation and facilitate a more diverse school environment

How the landmark case Swan v. Charlotte- Mecklenburg saw the courts approve mandatory bussing across school district lines in order to remedy residential segregation and facilitate a more diverse school environment Answer some questions about how the landmark case Swan v. Charlotte- Mecklenburg saw the courts approve mandatory bussing across school district lines in order to remedy residential segregation and facilitate a more diverse school environment Paper details In 1971, the landmark case Swan v. Charlotte- Mecklenburg saw the courts approve mandatory bussing across school district lines in order to remedy residential segregation and facilitate a more diverse school environment. This case was seen as further enforcement of the rulings of both brown 1 and brown 11 as many areas of the country were very slow in desegregating . However within 3 years, the decision was reversed in Miliken v. Bradley, where the courts stated that school districts were not responsible for desegregating across district lines nor were they required to do so. Using both your knowledge of education history in Rury and your knowledge of educational Philosophy in Brighouse, discuss the implications of this ruling on current state of education in the United States. In so doing, answer the following questions: has our legal and educational policies succeeded in creating a diverse and integrated public school environment? Why do you think they have or have not? Would schools benefit more from policies similar to what was attempted under Swan?Or should diversity and integration come from some other method? what method do you think should be used? Or should schools be free from such regulations? Why or why not? You need two books, which I won’t be able to provide 1) On Education, Harry Brighouse (Routledge, 2005) 2) Education and Social Change (4th Ed), John Rury (Routledge, 2013) Technical and Stylistic Checklist 1.
