Fox News
Good schools and a quality education set our nation’s most prized assets—our curious and creative kids—on their course in life.

The U.S. Constitution prohibits state actors from targeting people based on race. The Fourteenth Amendment, created after a bloody civil war that demanded colorblindness in our public institutions, holds that no state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." As the Supreme Court has held, this clause "prevent[s] the States [and, thus, public schools] from purposefully discriminating between individuals on the basis of race."
