The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday upheld the court-ordered integration program for Boston schools and accused the Boston school committee of "resistance, defiance and delay."
In a unanimous 51-page decision, the three-judge panel upheld every aspect of the controversial Phase II busing program ordered last May by U.S. District Court Judge W. Arthur Garrity.
"The overriding fact of the matter is that the district court in this case had to deal with an intransigent and obstructionist school committee majority," the appeals court said.
Various parts of the program had been appealed by the Boston School Committee, the mayor, and the Boston Home and School Association.
