Supreme Court Denies Boston Parents' Race Bias Appeal in School Admissions

The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Boston parents who argued that a temporary admissions policy for the city's elite high schools discriminated against white and Asian students. The policy, implemented during the pandemic, replaced entrance exams with criteria based on student performance and ZIP codes. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, expressing concerns about the policy's focus on race, but the lower court's decision in favor of the policy remains in place.
