Supreme Court Declines Case on Race in School Admissions

The Supreme Court decided not to take up a Virginia case involving race and school admissions at Thomas Jefferson High School. The decision, indicating reluctance to explore the ruling from June, involves a policy change at the high school aimed at creating a more diverse student body through a race-blind approach. The change led to shifts in the demographic representation of students offered admission, raising concerns. Conservative justices dissented, arguing against the constitutionality of what they perceive as intentional racial discrimination.
