United States Court of Appeals Upholds Proposition 209

On April 8, 1997, a Ninth Circuit Panel upheld the California Civil Rights Initiative (Proposition 209), adopted by Californians as Article I, Section 31, to their Constitution, providing in relevant part:

The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of... public education....

Accordingly, Groundswell Intervenors prepared a fourth motion for an order to terminate jurisdiction, along with an order that the Board modify its integration program to comply with current constitutional standards. After a telephonic conference on July 14, 1997, Groundswell secured a meaningful open court hearing of the motion. Armstrong v. Manzo (1965), 380 U.S. 545,550,552.
