WASHINGTON, DC—House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn today commented on a decision by the United States Supreme Court in Parents Involved in Community Schools Inc. v. Seattle School District and Meredith v. Jefferson County (Ky.) Board of Education:
“During my days as a history teacher in the Charleston County Public Schools, I always admonished my students, ‘If a thing has happened before it can happen again.’ But never in my wildest dreams did I think I would live to see the Supreme Court of the United States undercut the basic tenets of our society. What’s more disturbing is the way this Supreme Court has worked systematically with the help of at least one who benefited from all the efforts that he seems hell-bent on undermining.”
