The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to hear a case challenging affirmative action in college admissions, reigniting debate over the limits of diversity and inclusion.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will consider rehearing a lawsuit challenging whether the magnet program at a high school in Montgomery County, Maryland—part of the public school system’s initiative to attract students from across district lines through themed academic curricula—engages in racial discrimination against Asian American applicants. Lower courts had previously dismissed the case. By agreeing to review the possibility of lowering the threshold for challenging public school admissions policies on grounds of racial discrimination, the Supreme Court is once again testing the boundaries of efforts to promote educational diversity.
