(AP) - WASHINGTON-Five of the nine Supreme Court justices seem to be saying U.S. school systems may run afoul of the Constitution by using students' race to promote diversity in the classroom.
Should the justices eventually vote along those lines in two cases argued Monday, similar plans in hundreds of districts nationwide could be imperiled and public school systems would have a more limited arsenal to maintain racial diversity.

"Regardless of how well-motivated, allowing the state to engineer racial mixing only creates racial stereotypes and increases racial tension," said Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, a public interest law firm. "The court needs to put an end to state-mandated tinkering with race."
The administration of President George W. Bush took the side of the parents who are suing the school districts, as it had intervened on behalf of college and graduate students who in 2003 challenged Michigan's policies of using race as one of the considerations in whether to accept college students.

I'll say it again and again and again. As long as these freaks control the courts, the election doesn't mean shit.
Relax. Take your Prozac and go back to sleep.
