That was the question in front of the Supreme Court in the case *Milliken v. Bradley *in 1974. This week, on the 45th anniversary of the ruling, NPR Ed reporters Elissa Nadworny and Cory Turner unpacked the lasting effects of the court's decision. < https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.et.npr.org%2F%3Fqs%3Dc5ce0215fb457adf8b20cb27b24342aa336f3aaa6da8c3ece9e5891abe71306dbad413014c985ee19299d8b8d299c9c01c7f4cca466ee0b1&data=02%7C01%7COus-lp-rp13%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C037262b1d21742f4364708d7139b236b%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C636999429356335725&sdata=XLMZadxAL7kjbCF0G3jg%2Fdqs56sZMsQoDQGKOrgY2%2Bw%3D&reserved=0 > The case arrived two decades after *Brown v. Board *began the push for school desegregation. In those intervening years, the federal government achieved meaningful progress in the South, and the movement ultimately worked its way north, to cities like Detroit. But many white voters grew anxious, even angry, about these efforts. In the *Milliken *case, leaders from the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit had been sued for policies that had helped segregate Detroit's schools. At the time, two-thirds of students there were African American, while growing suburbs were almost exclusively white. The state was pouring money into new suburban schools but was building them behind district lines that acted like fences. The fight in *Milliken *was over who was responsible. Because the state had opposed an earlier desegregation effort, it seemed liable. But what about those dozens of booming, largely white suburbs? Should the federal courts do as they had done in the South for years: step in and force these communities to share their schools with black children? The suburbs argued that their school district lines had been drawn without malice and that the federal courts had no right to interfere in the local control of schools unless the black parents who brought the case could show that the suburbs were responsible for school segregation in Detroit. A divided court agreed, finding in a 5-4 ruling that if these suburbs weren't actively hurting Detroit's students, then they couldn't be forced to help them either. Ultimately, Detroit was told to somehow desegregate itself. Today, Detroit — and many other cities like it — are even more segregated. Roughly 9 million children — nearly 1 in 5 public school students in the U.S. — attend schools that are racially isolated and receive far less money than schools just a few miles away. That's according to a sweeping new review < https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.et.npr.org%2F%3Fqs%3Dc5ce0215fb457adf85a47fc7d7229f90a08aa65579775b9a672cdfa67cc4653addc0f262636fa3befeb9ed9cdbbb420d286318df625c1b18&data=02%7C01%7COus-lp-rp13%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C037262b1d21742f4364708d7139b236b%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C636999429356335725&sdata=vTxro0aS7%2FbnHre8RU75mAsd0mA8o32nYW9ib3TToVo%3D&reserved=0 > of the nation's most divisive school district borders from EdBuild, a nonprofit that investigates school funding inequities.

The summit was part of the Reach Higher initiative, which the former First Lady started while in the White House to encourage students to continue their education after high school — whether they go to college or train for a career. *A public school district in Pennsylvania faces a national outcry after threatening to place children in foster care over unpaid cafeteria debt*. In a letter sent earlier this month, officials in the Wyoming Valley West School District warned that if school lunch debt went unpaid, "The result may be your child being taken from your home and placed in foster care." The district initially rebuffed offers from donors to repay the debt — then apologized for the debacle and said they would take the money.
