S. C. PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN
IN WAKE OF COUKT DECISION
Columbia, August 21 — Public
schools in South Carolina open
this session after the historic
May IT U. S. Supreme Court
decision that race segregation in
them is unconstitutional.
That decision mey_jnean that
the state’s traditional separate
schools for white and Negro pu
pils are on the way out.
As yet, however, the Supreme
court has not indicated wben
segregation in the schools shall
be ended. This a question ex
pected to be answered this fall.
Pending the additional action
by the court, state school author
ities will operate as they have in
the past. There has been no
court order to change tWe status
qifo.
Therefore, the separate schools
will open as , usual in every
school district in the state.
On the other hand, the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People hv
called for an end to segregated
schools this year in line with
the spirit of the court decision.
The state NAACP chapter has
announced, however, that R will
wait until its annual meeting at
Spartanburg, Oct 15-17, before
deciding on any plans to push
for Negro admission to white
schools during the 195^55 school
year.
Still, it’s quite possible that in
dividual Negroes may seek to en
ter white schools when they
open.
In such instances, it’s almost
certain they will be turned away
and told to go to their own
schools. They will be reminded
that the State Constitution for
bids mixing of the races in public
education and requires separate
schools. Nothing the Supreme
Court has done so far has super
seded that constitutional pro
vision.
Negroes denied admission af
ter applying on the basis of the
court decision may, of course,
seek redress in the federal
courts. This would take time,
however, and any such suits
probably would have to wait,
anyway, on the forthcoming Su
preme Court directive.
It may be that individual Ne
groes and the NAACP will rec
ognize the facts of tlje situation
and wait for the courj to act
again.
At the present time, there are
several pending petitions by
which Negroes seek either an
of the requirment for a public
school system. This emendfhent,
first proposed by Gw. Brynes,
was approved overwhelmingly
in the 1962 general election. It
was ratified by the 1964 General
Assembly.
If YOU DOMT READ
THE CHRONICLE
YOU DOMT GET THE HEWS
end to separate schools or admis
sion to white schools on the
ground that school facilities for
them are not equal to those for
whites. All of these petitions,
several of which have been re
jected by the trustees of the
school districts concerned, are
backed by the NAACP.
These petitions could, in the
end, become the basis for court
action similar to the now famous
Clarendon County suit contest
ing the. validity of segregated
schools.
The Negroes’ appeal in that
case from a lower court decision
that segregation was constitu
tional so long as facilities were
equal was one on which the court
acted when it held that segrega
tion Viplates the federal consti-
tution’s 14th amendment.
It’s possible that Negroes will
bring other court actions. The
Supreme Court’s final action
will apply only to the Clarendon
case in this state and the school
authorities in the court will be
the only ones directed to end
segregation.
The effect, however, would be
that every school district would
be expected to comply with the]
court’s order. Quick steps could'
be taken to extend the order to
apply individually or generally.
The problem of how to keep
the public school system and at
the same time continue to main
tain seperate schools will be up
to the 1955' General Assembly.
It easily will be the greatest
problem faced by any legislature
in generations.
The state is committed to try
to retain its separate schools.
Whether this can be done in the
face of the court decision and
coming decree, time alone can
tell.
A 15-member legislative and
governor’s committee is at work
on the problem, but so far has
come up with nothing more than
preliminary recommend a t i o n s
that schools operate in the com
ing session as they have in the
past.
The committee said no long-
range recommendations can be
made until after the Supreme
Courts’ order is sutdies. It will
be necessary to know what the
order directs before attempting
to chart ty course for the state to
follow, the committee added.
A preliminary and precaution
ary step was this year’s elimina
tion from the state constitution
