Quotation from San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez by Supreme Court of the United States
“The method of financing public schools in Texas, as in almost every other State, has resulted in a system of public education that can fairly be described as chaotic and unjust. It does not follow, however, and I cannot find, that this system violates the Constitution of the United States.”
San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, Concurrence of Justice Stewart (U.S. Reports text (Wikisource))
Justice Stewart opens his concurrence by separating his judgment of the policy from his judgment of its constitutionality.
