Summary:

Addresses questions regarding the legal effect of H.J. Res. 56, to amend the Constitution to prohibit Federal courts from enforcing any desegregation plan or order requiring the transfer or assignment of students to public schools on the basis of race, religion, or national origin. Examines whether this proposed constitutional prohibition would apply retroactively to Federal court desegregation decrees ordered prior to or in effect on the date of adoption; affect the use of magnet schools or a lottery to assign students; or affect plans providing for the reassignment of teachers to achieve faculty and staff desegregation
