Thomas wrote that the court 'took a boundless view of equitable remedies' and used 'extravagant uses of judicial power' in the Brown ruling.
He argued that federal courts have limited power to grant relief and do not have the 'flexible power to invent' remedies, justifying his decision regarding a predominantly white congressional district in South Carolina.
Racial segregation in schools is on the rise over the last three decades, coinciding with the growth of charter schools and school choice options and the shift away from desegregation battles.
While the Brown v. Board of Education ruling was a landmark decision 70 years ago that declared the 'separate but equal' doctrine unconstitutional, racial segregation in schools has remained a significant issue.
