Preferred term

Goss v. Board of Education  

Definition

  • At issue in Goss v. Board of Education (1963) was the constitutionality of the transfer provisions of a desegregation plan in Tennessee. Goss stands out as an example of the Supreme Court's growing impatience with both the slow rate of desegregation and ongoing state-created barriers to the efforts to dismantle segregated school systems.
