Abstract
This Article analyzes the legality of three approaches that white enclaves have used to perpetuate racial school segregation. Part I of this Article examines how white enclaves use Supreme Court precedent to mount legal challenges to deter voluntary school desegregation plans. Part II explains how white enclaves manipulate school assignment policies to maintain school segregation. Part III discusses how white enclaves increase their power over school boards through at-large elections.
