Is there a good reason why we are citing to what Roberts cites and not citing to the case itself? Traditionally, you would cite to the page number in Parents Involved and anyone curious could then read Parents to find sub-citations. Pckilgore ( talk) 23:19, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Parents v. Seattle → Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 — Although it is a major U.S. Supreme Court decision, it is too early to say that the name should be shortened, à la Brown v. Board of Education. The shortened name doesn't even seem to be the most common usage yet ( [1] v. [2]). Plus, the current name implies that the respondent was the city of Seattle, not the school district. — TLK 'in 11:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this is word for word from another website, to be specific the sections on "Seattle School District" on this page is the same as "Facts of the Case" on Oyez. One or two words are deleted but otherwise, this is an exact copy. The first paragraph under "Jefferson County" is taken word for word from page 322, at the top of the right column, in Fulero and Wrightsman's Forensic Psychology. Definitely a violation of copyright.

anyone else notice the bias and unsourced analysis in the dissent sections? not to mention the fact that they're both very short. when this decision was made, the dissent was very highly publicized, and not much of that seems to be here.

I agree that the analyses seem biased in favor of the plurality opinion and the concurrences. The dissents seem to be systematically trivialized, while the concurrences are not. —Preceding

I think that the Wikipedia entry concerning the Parents Involved case should include a link to Comfort v. Lynn School Committee, 418 F.3d 1 (1st Cir. 2005). While Westlaw treats this case as overruled by the Supreme Court in Parents Involved, the Court actually declined to hear the case: 546 US 1061(2005). US District Court Judge Nancy Gertner is moving ahead w/ the original, race-conscious school desegregation plan: 541 F.Supp.2d. 429 (D.Mass. Mar 31, 2008).
This case is interesting because, unlike in the Seattle and Louisville school desegregation efforts, Lynn decided to equalize the resources of the predominantly white and predominantly minority schools. This meant that no one lost out by being sent to school in one area of town as opposed to another. Based on this funding equalization, First Circuit Chief Judge Michael Boudin cast the crucial tie breaking vote in support of the race-conscious desegregation plan.
The US Supreme Court chose not to review this decision, preferring instead to focus on the cases arising in Seattle and Louisville, where parents felt penalized by some of the school choices for their children. Under those circumstances, a majority of the Court felt comfortable knocking down the particular race-conscious student selection measures designed by these school systems. The Lynn case presents an alternative, presumably one in which no one must accept losses in order to ensure the effective integration of the schools. One further note: student test scores rose across the board following the implementation of the Lynn plan.

The current version of this article largely suggests that Chief Justice Roberts' opinion (parts III-B and IV) was a plurality opinion, but I'm not sure this is the case. Generally it's only considered a plurality decision if there was no majority. In this case, Roberts wrote the majority opinion and then essentially wrote a separate concurrence, I think, right? Otherwise, I don't see how you could count Roberts' opinion as a plurality when it had the same number of votes as Breyer's dissent. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 19:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
The third paragraph in the introduction should either be taken out or changed significantly. The first sentence in that paragraph misleading; there is in fact disagreement among the justices about that point. Here is a quote from Justice Breyer's dissent: "The histories also make clear the futility of looking simply to whether earlier school segregation was de jure or de facto in order to draw firm lines separating the constitutionally permissible from the constitutionally forbidden use of “race-conscious” criteria. . . .No one here disputes that Louisville's segregation was de jure. But what about Seattle's? Was it de facto? De jure? A mixture? Opinions differed.") The full Kennedy quote is: "The cases here were argued upon the assumption, and come to us on the premise, that the discrimination in question did not result from de jure actions." The 3 sentences following that text are misleading as well; the quote about "impose a duty" from the dissent is actually a reference to the Milliken decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.55.104 ( talk) 03:53, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
