in 1960, four Black university students sat down at a lunch counter in a segregated F. W. Woolworth Company store and refused to leave until they were served. They were denied service, but they came back every day for weeks with more and more people, eventually forcing desegregation in the service industry and leading to the formation of the SNCC.

Federalist Society members were extensively involved with the Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 ruling where the Supreme Court struck down plans in several jurisdictions

Importantly, evidence suggests that efforts in the 1970s and 1980s contributed to a narrowing of racial test score gaps. However, these gaps have widened since the introduction of policies.
