United StatesA federal appeals court in the United States has terminated a longstanding desegregation order that had governed the Concordia Parish School District in Louisiana for over six decades. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to lift the mandate, aligning with the Trump administration's efforts to reduce federal involvement in local education policies. The decision marks the end of a legal battle that began in 1965, during which Black families fought for access to previously segregated schools.
