Summary:

Desegregation of schools in multi-school district metropolitan areas has been proposed to achieve racial balance in inner city schools. The courts have been hesitant to impose this remedy except where governmental action has been taken to foster segregation. Some contend that a better alternative would be to use educational remedies. Limited congressional options are available.
