In July 2010, citizens protested a move by the newly elected, conservative majority of the Wake County, NC school board to scrap a school assignment policy based largely on economic diversity in favor of one promoting neighborhood schools.
The NAACP, church groups and many citizens viewed the Board's policy as an attempt to reinstitute racial segregation in the public schools. Their civil disobediance landed some protesters in the Wake County jail.
