In the South, one immediate consequence of that decision was the emergence of a host of new private schools that were created to enable white students to evade school desegregation. Most of those schools are still around in one form or another.
Then when there was a push in the Federal courts on behalf of school busing in the 1970s, it was ultimately decided that suburban school districts could not be mandated to participate in such plans for integrating urban school systems. Those decisions encouraged white flight from urban centers to the suburbs.
