LAUSD integration plan upheld

The Los Angeles Unified School District's practice of using race as a
factor in enrolling students for its popular magnet programs doesn't
violate an anti-discrimination law, a judge has ruled.Daily News.

In a ruling filed Monday, Superior Court Judge Paul Gutman upheld the
nation's second-largest school district's integration plan, which also
buses volunteer minority students to schools in certain parts of the
city.

The American Civil Rights Foundation had filed a lawsuit in 2005
claiming the district's practice violated a voter-approved initiative
that outlaws racial preferences in all public programs in California.
