[edit] needs major rewrite

There are way too many details about the lower court actions while there isn't enough info about the supreme court opinions themselves. In addition, should the Seatle case be merged into this one? Jon 17:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

First, people have to get through the 185-page opinion document. I've only read through less than a dozen pages, myself. A lot of the Court opinions are based on what the news and attorneys have reported and what is in those first few pages. The attorneys involved haven't even finished reading the opinion. --Carl (talk|contribs) 17:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
    • this article should be merged with Parents v. Seattle, which was the leading case, not this one.

  • Support In addition the other one is much better written. Jon 18:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I think they should each have their own article, as they are separate cases that just happened to be decided together. The story behind the JCPS case cannot be allowed to be buried. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

    • Merge. Come on folks, the two cases were merged by the Supreme Court. There's only one SCOTUS opinion, and only one SCOTUS citation: 127 S. Ct . 2738.Ferrylodge (talk) 01:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
