The trial over Turner v. Clayton began Monday with a focus on the extent to which the case is likely to have repercussions on St. Louis-area students, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Quoting from the Post-Dispatch:

"Inside a St. Louis County courtroom, lawyers argued whether the bench trial is really about one plaintiff's two children or the tens of thousands of students in unaccredited districts who may have their pick of better schools if a judge upholds the law."
