Schools struggle with race

The Louisville Courier Journal reports school busing means more lawsuits:
Three decades ago, the federal courts ordered Louisville to desegregate its schools by busing black and white students -- a decision that eventually resulted in massive protests and violence.

Now the U.S. Supreme Court may soon weigh in again -- this time to decide whether America's school districts, including the Jefferson County Public Schools, can voluntarily desegregate by considering race when determining which schools students attend.
