Reasonable. This is ! the Law i 1 > i c By Chafes W. Daniel e (For the N. C. Bar Association) ' SEGREGATION IN SCHOOLS The recent momentous decision of the Supreme Court outlawing segregation of the races in the public schools of this country has excited intense speculation about practical results and will continue to do so—indefinitely. '• No man can say with any degree d pf certainty WHEN the actual transition to mixed classes will d begin, or, what course it will take once it begins. y There are a few broad facts which may be stated as definite y NOW: 1. The five cases considered to n gether by the Supreme Court, and to which its decision was directed, dealt with segregation in the d Public Schools only. The opinion by Chief Justice Ear! Warren and ;- an unanimous court did not pur d port to deal with segregation out e side the public schools. It would seem to follow—although the court d in its 4,000-word opinion did not - intro-State transportation and the ” like remain unchanged. It should be emphasized that the decision r affects PUBLIC school—those op 1, erated with State funds—only. It - does NOT, of course, affect PRI '- VATE or DENOMINATIONAL r schools. r, A recent headline in a Durham ?, paper, indicating that private schools are also involved, was ob f viously in error. h 2. The 17 states now having e segregation will be given a chance in arguments before the Supreme it Court AFTTR next October 1 to t suggest means and procedures for y putting the new rule into effect. Since the 1954-5 school year will d have started even before argu e ments begin, it is a strong bet t. as a practical matter—that no ac ,r tual transition to mixed classes e will take place in North Carolina during the next school year, and l, perhaps, not for some time after that. 3. Once the new plan is put into I- effect, it is doubtful that anything approaching a general mixing of the races in the classroom will oc 3.' cur in the near future. This is true because of the rule adopted by our State Board of Education which says that children must attend the school in the district in which they s live. A child may attend a school .» outside his own home district only i if the school heads of the two dis tricts involved in a proposed trans fer agree to the transfer, or, if . the transfer is allowed by the . State Board of Education. I There seems to be no sound rea j son why these rules of the Educa . tion Board should be altered as a n result of the Court decision. Since most white children live in the ,, close vicinity of the schools which they now attend, and the same is h true of negro children, it appears, .. at least at the outset, that first mixing of the races would be e slight. t 4. There is nothing in the FED , ERAL Constitution or in the Su r preme Court’s segregation ruling ._ which says that a State MUST e operate public schools. Our North r Carolina Constitution—which could be changed by amendment on vote e of the people—says, in Article IX, r Sec. 2 that the General Assembly shall provide by taxation “and oth ,f erwise” a uniform system of pub lic schools, “free” to children be n tween 6 and 21, with separate but ._ indiscriminate schools for whites I and negroes. j The fact that “free” public ._ schools are provided for both races, as well as Indians, is a voluntary function in State government. The r fact that public schools are pro vided at all is a voluntary assump (j tion of responsibility on the part !t of the State. s. 1,000,000 Affected. 's Approximately 1,000,000 white and negro students and teachers will be affected by the decision in ,s North Carolina, once it is put into effect. In the 1952-3 school year there were 652,622 wrhite students d (71 per cent) in our public schools. 1_ There were 276,401 negro pupils (29 per cent.) The white students ld had 20,885 teachers (62 per cent), the negroes 8,031 teachers (38 per cent.) The meat of the historic court decision is found in the terse state )r ment: “Separate educational facil ities are inherently unequal.” ~ Chief Justice Warren, in the choice of those words, meant simply that no matter how equal the educa tional facilities, if they were kept separate, then, the quality of the educational opportunities could NOT be equal.
