Abstrakt: The article explores the post Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 (PICS) desegregation landscape to assess the decision's effect on the legal obligations of de jure school systems. It also explores the ramifications of a constitutional standard that abruptly transforms legal obligations on the basis of a subjective factual determination by a federal district court. It provides a primer of desegregation law and reviews the landmark desegregation cases that preceded PICS. The article then analyzes the PICS decision, focusing particularly on the opinions authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy.
