HENDERSON, Circuit Judge:
This is a civil rights class action attacking the policies and practices of the Georgia State Board of Education and a number of local school districts. The plaintiffs, thirty-five black schoolchildren, sued in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia claiming that black students are assigned to regular classes and programs for the educable mentally retarded (EMR) in Georgia public schools in a discriminatory manner. The district court found in favor of the defendants on all counts and the plaintiffs appealed that judgment to this court.
