KQED Forum looks at recent educational law cases

San Francisco's future school enrollment policies and efforts to combat the ongoing re-segregation of its schools will be impacted by the Supreme Court's rulings on two pending cases. Yesterday's radio broadcast of KQED's Forum took up the subject of these rulings in this segment:

While looking at the Forum archives, I found this show recent show that is also relevant to this audience:
