- Title
CONTEXTUALIZING CLEBURNE.
- Authors
Bornstein, Laura C.
- Abstract
The article looks at the drawbacks of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the case involving the Cleburne, Texas and Cleburne Living Center Inc. It explains that the Court's decision to invalidate a zoning ordinance that discriminated mentally retarded persons was criticized by legal experts since the Court never applied the Equal Protection Clause for invalidation. It also notes that the focus on remedial legislative actions was risky since these reforms could be short-lived and misapplied.
