Supreme Court Declines Boston School Admissions Case Amidst Race Bias Concerns

The Supreme Court declined to review a case challenging Boston public schools' zip-code based admissions policy aimed at promoting racial diversity without using race as a factor. This decision leaves in place a lower court ruling that upheld the policy, which was challenged by a coalition claiming it discriminated against Asian American and White students. The case follows a previous Supreme Court ruling ending affirmative action in universities, prompting schools to explore 'race-neutral' diversity efforts. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing the policy perpetuates race-based affirmative action.
