Abstract:
In a decision close to North Carolina's interests, a South Carolina school case involving segregation of the races in public schools moves the topic one step closer to the United States Supreme Court. As the case examines public school involvement for the first time and the subject of segregation rather than discrimination, those in North Carolina consider how the North State would handle a Supreme Court decision, what the effects of such a decision would be, and what is the constitutional background for the public school system in the state.
