By Lawrence Hurley Conservative justices objected as the Supreme Court on Monday sidestepped a new dispute over race in education by declining to consider whether an admissions program for public high schools in Boston unlawfully considered race. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas both said they would have taken up the case, while Justice Neil Gorsuch said he shared their concerns about the policy. Alito wrote that there was “overwhelming direct evidence of intentional discrimination” that warranted the Supreme Court’s intervention. It is the second time the court has declined to review a policy aimed at increasing diversity in public high schools
