    Nothing in this subchapter prohibits an educational agency from

desegregation, otherwise lawful, that is at variance with the standards 
set out in this subchapter nor shall any court, department, or agency of 
the United States be prohibited from approving implementation of a plan 
which goes beyond what can be required under this subchapter, if such 
plan is voluntarily proposed by the appropriate educational agency.
