needs major rewrite

edit

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)Reply

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)Reply
    • 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)Reply

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! TalkWork 15:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

    • 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)Reply

Chiming in only... four or five years later, I've now redirected this page to Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. I tried fixing some of the issues in this article, but it became clear very quickly that the answer here is to combine into one article. The cases were consolidated and Parents Involved took the top spot. If there are parts of this article that can be merged in to the main article, feel free. But having two separate articles simply doesn't make sense. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
