Question 20

Discuss the Freeman v. Pitts case and its significance in addressing Unitary Status. (page 345)

Accepted Answer

The Freeman v. Pitts case was a significant Supreme Court case in addressing Unitary Status. In this case, the Court ruled that school districts could be released from federal court supervision even if they had not fully eliminated the effects of past discrimination. This decision allowed school districts to be considered "unitary," or no longer segregated, even if there were still some lingering effects of past discrimination.

The significance of this case lies in the fact that it provided a framework for determining when a school district could be considered unitary and therefore released from federal court supervision. It recognized that complete eradication of the effects of past discrimination may not always be possible, but that substantial progress towards desegregation and equality could still warrant release from supervision.

This case set a precedent for the legal standards and considerations in addressing unitary status, providing guidance for future cases and allowing for a more nuanced approach to the issue of desegregation in schools. It also highlighted the ongoing and complex nature of addressing the legacy of segregation and discrimination in education.
