Save for later

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case about race in middle school admissions. This comes three years after it struck down affirmative action in college admissions. The case involves four selective middle schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. A parent group claims the district's policy boosts Black and Latino admissions while disadvantaging Asian American students. The court will decide if there's enough evidence of discrimination for the case to proceed.

The court is expected to hear arguments in the coming months.
