For the term that officially begins Oct. 5, the justices have not granted full review in any major education cases--yet. But a handful of appeals pending at the court involve provocative issues, including the Pledge of Allegiance, Confederate T-shirts, challenges to books in public school libraries, and student religious messages at graduation ceremonies.

A decision by the court to grant review in one or more of these cases would quickly make the 2009-10 term far more interesting for educators, students, and parents.

That 400,000-person disparity between top and bottom has generated a federal court challenge that is set to be filed Thursday in Mississippi, charging that the system effectively disenfranchises people in certain states. The lawsuit asks the courts to order the House to fix the problem by increasing its size from 435 seats to at least 932, or perhaps as many as 1,761. That way, the plaintiffs argue, every state can have districts that are close to parity.
