On June 28, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the subject case that race could not be used to determine student school assignments; i.e., it was a violation of equal protection to make assignments on the basis of race.

As I see it, the decision was the right one, for so many reasons, notwithstanding the bitter dissent from the left. Chief Justice Roberts absolutely nailed it when he wrote (and I am paraphrasing here), "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race in our schools is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." Brilliant.
