Supreme Court rules private schools may not segregate by race
The high court ruled 7 to 2 that private schools cannot exclude Black students and that whites are protected against private employment discrimination. Justice Stewart led the private schools decision with a broad civil rights ruling, while Justices White and Rehnquist dissented on that point. The cases centered on Fairfax Brewster and Bobbe's Private School in Virginia suburbs, with outcomes upholding earlier circuits and reflecting postwar civil rights law coverage.
