The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Boston parents who claimed a temporary admissions exam policy for the city's elite high schools discriminated against white students and those of Asian descent.
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from their colleagues' decision to leave in place lower court rulings in favor of the plan, which was used just once during the coronavirus pandemic. A third justice, Neil Gorsuch, said he also was troubled by the policy.
