The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a case challenging Boston Public Schools using a student’s ZIP code as a factor for admission in an attempt to admit more nonwhite students.
The case alleges white students were unfairly discriminated against after several prestigious schools within the district created a quota for admitting students from different ZIP codes rather than basing admission on the students’ academic performance, leading to decreased white enrollment. Several schools have created alternative admissions policies in an attempt to sidestep the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling that banned the use of race as a factor for admission into schools.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday to uphold a law that will force TikTok’s Chinese parent company to sell the platform or have it banned in the U.S.
A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.
