Minister Of Five
Churches Oppose
Pearsall Plan
In view of the fact that citizens
of North Carolina are called upon
to go to the polls Saturday, Septem
-ber 8, to vote upon an amendment
to the state constitution called the
P tarsall Plan, in regard to the op
eration of our public schools, we!
the undersigned ministers of Mur
phy wish? without attempting to
?peak for our local churches? to
share with the voting constituency
of this area our common view
point.
(1) We believe the Pearsall plan
is contrary in its teachings to
New Testament, and Christian
practice. The New Testament
Church favors, we believe, an in.
teregated pattern for society. This
it assuredly does for the church,
the redeemed body of Christ:
"There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus"
(Gelatians 3:28) Furthermore,
the Christian practice is of
course to obey the law, and not
to try to evade it
(2) We believe that the Pear
sall Plan proposed In the Amend
ment to be voted upon is likewise
impractical in regard to the nature
of public school education to be
provided, and the quality of that
education. The proposal visual
izes a two-platoon system of
schooling; public schools, as now;
and private schools supported by
public funds. No explanation is
offered as to how the system will
be initiated and carried out. Can.
dldly, we are operating our public
schools, at present, below the right
standard. In some areas facilities
| Are limited; it is difficult to ob
tain qualified teachers; and many
| of these are underpaid. With add.
; ed schools, the problem will be
accentuated, at additional costs;
r and we, think, with further low
^ ering of our standards.
We believe that you will serve
the interest of our children, and
our state, and be in line with
God's will by voting against the '
proposed amendment. I
