The dissenting justices expanded the scope of the argument, declaring that this new ruling will “threaten the promise” of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that made segregated education illegal.
“The last half-century has witnessed great strides toward racial equality, but we have not yet realized the promise of Brown,” Breyer wrote. “To invalidate the plans under review is to threaten the promise of Brown. The plurality’s position, I fear, would break that promise. This is a decision that the Court and the nation will come to regret.”
