Schools Plan in Nebraska Is Challenged - New York Times: "In a constitutional challenge to a state law that would divide the Omaha public schools into three racially identifiable districts, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sued the governor of Nebraska and other state officials yesterday in federal court in Omaha, arguing that the law "intentionally furthers racial segregation."
An amendment that passed late in the legislative session required that the Omaha public schools be split by 2008 into three districts following the attendance areas of existing high schools. The lawsuit argues that because Omaha is racially segregated by neighborhood, dividing the district that way would create one largely black, one largely white and one mostly Hispanic district."
