Warren's first article on legislation has criticized the Supreme Court's anti-busing decision: report

Sen. Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth Ann WarrenTrump calls Biden "a recovery project" that will not win in 2020. What Trump's speech of July 4 revealed, beyond his words, why Trump has reason to be optimistic in 2020 MORE (D-Mass.) Criticized a Supreme Court decision in his first law review article published more than 40 years ago.

In his 1975 article on the Rutgers Law Review, Warren denounced a decision of the Supreme Court in the case Milliken v. Bradley, in which he explained that this decision allowed school districts to give up student transportation in cities in the northern United States, reported CNN's KFILE on Saturday.

The decision maintained that a black majority school district could not allow students from suburban white majority districts to desegregate schools unless the suburban districts were also engaged in illegal segregation practices.

In his article, Warren wrote that de facto segregation, resulting from social norms, prejudices and self-selection, and de jure segregation, which existed because of laws imposing racial segregation, had been silently reiterated.[ed]"By the court's decision, which predicts that such segregation would dominate public schools," CNN reported.

"Schools that are effectively separated, even if they are equal, and certainly if they are unequal, are constitutionally condemned, regardless of the reason for the separation," wrote Warren.

Warren wrote that the decision, as well as the one defending the system of funding public schools by local taxes, "would lead to downtown schools where facilities, pupil / teacher ratio and other educational benefits are lower because the funding is not enough, to the extent of what is available for the suburban schools ".

Warren wrote at the time that the decision "could therefore be a separate and unequal school" and called on the Congress to "develop a judicial remedy against school segregation in urban areas".

Warren's director of communications, Kristen Orthman, told CNN that the senator and her hope for 2020 remained true to what she had written decades ago, as well as legislation aimed at "supporting voluntary local efforts to increase racial and socio-economic diversity ".

"In addition, if localities do not take steps to desegregate schools, Elizabeth believes that the federal government has the constitutional obligation to intervene to fulfill the promise of Brown v. Board, including, the case appropriate, bus transportation, "said Orthman.

A spokesman for Warren's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Warren's position on the bus contrasts sharply with that of the Democratic leader Joe BidenJoe BidenTrump calls Biden "a recovery project" that will not win in 2020. What Trump's speech of July 4 revealed, beyond his words, why Trump has reason to be optimistic in 2020 MORE during the same period.

"No one is more committed to equal educational opportunities than me," Biden told The Morning News, a Wilmington newspaper, in 1977, according to KFILE. "But the bus is not the solution – it was a bad idea in theory, and it's even worse in practice."

Another CNN KFILE survey found that the former vice president reportedly said in an interview nearly 40 years ago that he objected to allowing the racial integration of schools and that this practice was the "least effective remedy" in case of segregation.

Biden doubled his position in an interview with CNN this week, saying his stance against the federally-mandated bus had been "out of context" by Sen. Kamala HarrisKamala Devi HarrisTrump calls Biden a "recovery project" that will not win in 2020. What Trump's speech of July 4 revealed, beyond his words, why Trump has reason to be optimistic in 2020 MORE (D-Calif.) In the first Democratic presidential debate last week.

Harris tore Biden during the Democratic debate for her previous bus speech, describing how she had benefited from this schoolgirl practice in Berkeley, California.

"There was a little girl in California who was in second class to go to public schools and she was transported by bus every day," Harris told Biden. "This little girl was me."

Biden called Harris's criticism "denaturing" his views. After the debate, he defended his point by saying on MSNBC that he "was supportive of the bus to eliminate de jure segregation".
