This story first appeared at The 74, a nonprofit news site covering education. Some readers may be surprised to learn that many U.S. high schools deny entry to legally eligible students. It is, after all, conventional wisdom that public schools are open to all families and that they eagerly seek to serve all potential students. I, unfortunately, am not surprised at all.

This is a year of celebration. Seventy years ago this May the Supreme Court outlawed racial segregation in the public schools. The court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education made it illegal for states and school districts to turn African American children away from a public school because of their race, ending a shameful era of American history and reimagining our social contract. But this is also a year of reckoning.

May 17 marks the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark school desegregation decision in Brown v. Board of Education. There is ample reason to celebrate Brown: not only did it mark the beginning of the end of the racial caste system in the South, but also it reinvigorated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Its implications reach far beyond race and education, as important as those matters remain.
