Stough V. Crenshaw Country Board Of Education: Parental Rights And Segregation Academies, Stuart Melnick

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The author of this student note explores a recent 11th Circuit decision in Strough v. Crenshaw Country Board of Education, which held that the state's proffered interests were not compelling, and therefore failed to override a fundamental right. In the case, a county school board forbid its employees from sending their children to private school, and the regulation was contested by two tenured teachers who sought to enroll their children in a private, racially segregated school. The court eventually found that a parent's right to educate their child was a fundamental right, and the policy reasons advanced by the school …

Book Review, Elaine W. Shoben

Scholarly Works

The Burden of Brown by Raymond Wolters is a long book with a very short message: integration is bad, but desegregation is not. The distinction between the two is crucial to Wolters's analysis. Desegregation is the prohibition of officially sanctioned separation of the races. Integration, on the other hand, is the compelled mixing of the races for the sake of mixing. The "burden" of Brown v. Board of Education, according to Wolters, is that the Supreme Court has blurred this distinction and erroneously requires integration instead of merely prohibiting segregation. Wolters's thesis is that Brown had two prongs: one …

The Spanish University: An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Institutional And Political Change, Julia A. Nichols

Honors Papers

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the nature of institutional adaptation of the University within the context of the political upheavals in twentieth-century Spain. I will focus on the changing structure of the University under the Republican era, the Franco years, and the present democracy. Elements within this changing educational structure suggest an ideal typology, a hypothetical university which manages to rise above its role as a mere function of the social milieu. By contrast, the reality of the University as an institution controlled by political regimes is evident throughout the paper. The contention herein is that among …
