美国最高法院在促进教育公平中的作用

The Supreme Court's Functions in the Promotion of Education Equity in U.S

教育公平是衡量教育成就、教育公正以及教育机会的一个标尺。美国建国以来,在教育立法、政策保障、教育补偿和经费保障等诸多方面取得了非凡的成就,值得很多国家学习和借鉴。在促进教育公平进程中,美国最高法院发挥了巨大作用。美国最高法院根据一定的法理基础,以通过司法审查为手段,审判了大量案件,在捍卫教育公平方面发挥了巨大作用。虽然一些人对最高法院的做法有片面认识,但是依旧改变不了最高法院的作用:有利于解决教育公平难题;有利于教育权与教育公平的宣示;有利于公民关注教育公平问题,促进教育公平的实施。
