Justice Department ends school desegregation order in Louisiana

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Trump administration was “getting America refocused on our bright future” when it ended a 1966 legal agreement with Plaquemines Parish schools. Decades after the Supreme Court struck down racial segregation in America’s schools, more than 100 districts remain under court settlements governing how they must work toward integration. Known as consent decrees, the agreements can be lifted when districts demonstrate they have eliminated segregation and its vestiges.
