Milliken v. Bradley held school districts could not bus students across district lines. This made it effectively impossible to desegregate many cities in the Northern U.S., since "white flight" meant the inner cities were majority black & the 'burbs white. It's been blamed for the death of Detroit (along with any number of other things...)

So, can the 5-4 decision be altered? Can Detroit be saved?

How big an impact does this have outside Detroit?
