      II. The mandatory assignment of student Intervenors, and others similarly situated, because of their race, to particular public schools within said District violates the rights of Intervenors and others similarly situated, under the United States Constitution, for reasons which include the following:

        A. It infringes upon the liberty and privacy of student Intervenors, in violation of the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment, and the 9th Amendment.

        B. It infringes upon the liberty of parent Intervenors to guide the destiny of their children, in violation of the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment, and of the 9th Amendment.

        C. It infringes upon the rights of Intervenors to the governing participation concerning the District to which they are entitled, in violation of the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment, and of the 9th and 10th Amendments.

Finally, the prayer, with the standard requests for attorney fees, costs and such other relief as the court deems just and proper, will be focused upon obtaining relief in the single area of pupil assignments, as permitted by Freeman, supra, as follows:

      A. That the Court find that there is no basis for continued mandatory assignment of students, because of their race, to particular schools in the City School District;

      B. That said District be ordered to discontinue mandatory school assignments of students on a racial basis; and

      C. That jurisdiction be returned to said District in the area of assignment of students for their assignment in accordance with the Court's judgment.
