I have been very busy recently. But today I decided to play around with the new AI software to see what type of information it can give about education policy.

With the Supreme Court set to hear arguments about President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan today, I have been thinking about education court cases.

So I asked: “What are the top 10 Supreme Court cases related to education?”

Here are ten Supreme Court cases that have had a significant impact on education in the United States:

  1. Brown v. Board of Education (1954): This landmark case declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, paving the way for desegregation efforts throughout the country.
  2. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969): This case affirmed that students have a First Amendment right to free speech, even while in school.
  3. New Jersey v. T.L.O. (1985): This case addressed the issue of students’ Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures in the context of school searches.
  4. Plyler v. Doe (1982): This case established that states cannot deny education to undocumented immigrant children.
  5. Grutter v. Bollinger (2003): This case upheld the use of affirmative action in college admissions as a way to achieve diversity.
  6. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988): This case clarified the extent of a school’s authority to regulate student speech in school-sponsored activities, such as school newspapers.
  7. Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 (2007): This case addressed the use of race in school assignment plans, striking down certain plans that used race as a factor.
  8. Board of Education v. Earls (2002): This case addressed the constitutionality of drug testing students who participate in extracurricular activities.
  9. Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe (2000): This case addressed the constitutionality of school-sponsored prayer at public high school football games.
  10. Zelman v. Simmons-Harris (2002): This case upheld the constitutionality of school voucher programs, which allow public funds to be used for private school tuition.

Overall, I think these are solid picks, but I will have to do more research to decide if these are my top 10 picks. I think that generating a list of topics to research more deeply is an appropriate use of this technology, although I would have to carefully check any summaries.
