Current trends in K-12 education reveal a significant resegregation of the races over the past two decades. During the 2020-2021 school year, more than one-third of K-12 students attended predominantly same-race schools. Resegregation is particularly pronounced in the South, a region with a history of state-mandated discrimination. Southern schools now have higher concentrations of Black and Latino students than any other region in the country, and the number of schools with high percentages of Black and Latino students continues to rise. Despite the well-documented benefits of integrated learning environments, some scholars argue that federal courts have accelerated the resegregation of Southern schools by ending discrimination lawsuits in districts that remain segregated or failed to provide equitable access to educational opportunities for minority students. This study investigates the influence of federal court decisions on the resegregation of schools in the South, highlighting the legal and educational implications of these trends.
