Miss. school district ordered to desegregate, ending 50-year battle. JACKSON, Miss. — A federal court has ordered the Cleveland, Miss., School District to merge its majority black secondary schools with historically white schools to end a five-decade legal battle to desegregate the city's schools.
U.S. District Judge Debra Brown rejected two alternatives the 3,700-student school district previously proposed as unconstitutional, agreeing with the Justice Department that the only way to achieve desegregation is to combine Cleveland’s high schools and middle schools. The system has 12 schools total. “Six decades after the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education declared that ‘separate but equal has no place’ in public schools, this decision serves as a reminder to districts that delaying desegregation obligations is both unacceptable and unconstitutional,” Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement.

Chief Justice Roy Moore issued a letter late Sunday advising probate judges – the county officials tasked with issuing marriage licenses — to follow state law rather than the ruling of a federal judge, who struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. Those who violate his order would face a reprimand by the governor, Moore wrote in his letter. “Effective immediately, no probate judge of the state of Alabama nor any agent or employee of any Alabama Probate Judge shall issue or recognize a marriage license that is inconsistent” with a constitutional amendment and a state law banning same-sex unions, Moore wrote.
