1Opinion of the CourtJustice White
In this case, we consider the claims of school officials and schoolchildren in 23 northern Mississippi counties that they *268are being unlawfully denied the economic benefits of public school lands granted by the United States to the State of Mississippi well over 100 years ago. Specifically, we must determine to what extent these claims are barred by the Eleventh Amendment and, with respect to those claims that are not barred, if any, whether the complaint is sufficient to withstand a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.
