2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The parental interest that justifies permissive intervention is an interest in a desegregated school system. Here, as in the Perry County case, ‘[t]he parents are not seeking to challenge deficiencies in the implementation of desegregation orders . .. . ’ United States v. Perry County Board of Education, supra [ 567 F.2d 277 ] at 279 [5th Cir.]. They oppose such implementation. Their complaint is that the school board does not also oppose such implementation, but we have held that ‘Appellants are not entitled to intervention of right simply because they would have voted differently had they been members of these representative bodies.’ United States v. Perry County Board of Education, supra at 280.””
