Note: Bilingual Education - A Problem Of "Substantial" Numbers

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This unsigned note argues that the Supreme Court should reexamine the rights of language minority students under 42 U.S.C. §2000d in order to clarify its holding in Lau v. Nichols. In that case, the Court established the right of non-English speaking children to receive compensatory language instruction under that statute. The note analogizes language minority children to handicapped children who the Court has held are entitled to receive a minimal education which is geared toward their needs. Since language minority students may not be able to obtain minimal education without compensatory language instruction, they may be entitled to such instruction.

Case Comment: Desegregating A Demographically Changing School District--Pasadena City Board Of Education V. Spangler, Ellen Bowman Welsch

Seattle University Law Review

In Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education the Supreme Court suggested, by negative implication, that a court supervising the desegregation of a school district can require school officials to eliminate resegregation caused solely by natural demographic changes if school officials have not yet achieved a unitary system. The Court's holding in Pasadena City Board of Education v. Spangler, however, demonstrates that the Court did not intend this negative implication. Under Spangler, once school officials have eliminated state-imposed segregation from student assignment, the supervising court cannot require school officials to redraw attendance zones to eliminate non-state imposed resegregation even though the …
