Crawford v. Board of Education

California voters passed Proposition I, barring state courts from ordering mandatory pupil reassignment or busing unless a federal court would order the same remedy for an Equal Protection violation; the amendment left intact state-law obligations requiring school districts to take voluntary desegregation steps like reassignment and busing plans, but removed courts' power to compel busing beyond the federal constitutional floor. The California Court of Appeals upheld Proposition I's constitutionality.
