Caselaw

This case was initiated in 2008 when the Inclusive Communities Project (ICP), a non-profit group, sued the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) in relation to a federal tax credit program used by states and local governments to build affordable housing. ICP claimed that the TDHCA perpetuated segregation in violation of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) by granting too many tax credits to new housing developments in predominantly black inner city areas and too few in primarily white suburban neighborhoods.

This class action consolidated a number of cases brought on behalf of black schoolchildren denied admission to segregated public schools, under state law. Public facilities were previously racially segregated in the United States, particularly in the South. The case sought to challenge the "separate but equal" doctrine set forth in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), that governed racial segregation at the time.

Esta acción de clase fue iniciada en nombre de los niños de un distrito escolar con una tasa del impuesto a la propiedad relativamente baja y de los cuales el 98% eran niños de ascendencia mexicana. Los peticionantes cuestionaron el hecho de que el Estado de Texas se valga de los impuestos a la propiedad para financiar sus escuelas, lo que significaba que los alumnos de los distritos más pobres recibían solamente dos tercios de los fondos que recibían los alumnos de los distritos más ricos.
