Interested persons, some' of
whom supported Govern or
Moore for the high office, are
alarmed over the fact that, he
has not seen fit to utter a
word against -this group, whose
known existence is to intimi
date, harass, beat, plunder and
even murder, to beat back the
forces o£ fair play and equali

There are those who question
even the Governor’s faith in
his “Good Neighbor Commit

purpose and intent is believed
to be definitely opposed to the
things for which the Klan stands.
The issue became more con
fusing as to his stand in the
matter, when his office told
The CAROLINIAN if did not
know whether Mr, Moore in
tended to make any statement
in the future.
The fact that the Klan has
bolstered its efforts to take
over, in a big way, in the state,
is causing much alarm and there
are those who say that Governor
Moore must act now. They
refer to the fact that the action
brought against the Dunn minis

sented the Dunn action by sign

tion that the situation is grow

to be remembered that o.ae

Cases reported to the office
of the .Executive Secretary of
the North Carolina Teachers

Removal of several Negro

release of one or more Negro
teachers in each instance re

Removal of several grades,
often the entire high school
section of a union school, to
a previously “predo m i n a t e 1 y

many different kinds of results.
In two cases, all the Negro

Officials of the N. C. Edu

no uncertain terms, "that they

done all they intend to do when
they remove the clause in their
constitution which limited its
membership to “white teach

non interest in merging the
two associations. This then,
leaves the North Carolina
Teachers Association no alter
native but to call upon the
State officials, the NEA, the
NAACP, the offices of Attor
ney Gene ral Katen zenb ac h ,
Commissioner Keppel, the
White House and all interested
civic and professional groups
to cope with this problem.
Many hundredof teachers are
already Involved In the teacher
dismissal practices. Should
the emerging pattern of Negro
teacher dismissals continue
many, many more will be dis
placed. The displacement of
Negro teachers poses many
problems:
Many are home owners, Some
have mortaged and still others
are buying cars and have other
indebtedness.
Some are long time, if not
life time residents of and par
ticipating members in their
communities.
In many communities, Negro
teachers are the basic profes
sional group and have, and are,
providing the leadership of their
communities. To up-root these
persons is to up-root their
very lives and that of the com
munities in which they have
made their homes.
The North Carolina Teachers
Association has made inquiry
of the Attorney General’s Of
fice of the United States and
the Attorney General’s office
of North Carolina with respect
to the implementation oi Title
VI and discrimination in the
teaching personnel.
Realizing that some teachers
will be displaced while court
action or legislative action is
being conducted, the North Car
olina Teachers Association
calls upon units in North Car
olina and other States to avail
the opportunity for employment,
where you have need, to the
displaced teachers of North

PETITION
TO THE RALEIGH CITY
BOARD OF EDUCATION
The undersigned organization
respectfully petitions the Hon
orable Raleigh City Board of
Education and its Secretary and
Members as follows:
WHEREAS, the undersigned
has carefully observed that the
“Freedom of Choice” plan, as
recently adopted by the Raleigh
City Board of Education for the
assignment of public school pu
pils to city schools, is pur
posefully designed to give suc
cor and comfort to the racial
immaturity of thought and the
embryonic prejudices of public
school pupils and to their nat
ural but menacing tendencies
to cling in purely racial group
ings and clusters and to set
themselves apart from other
racial groups:
WHEREAS, state support of
cultivation of racial cleavages
in public school education is
directly contrary to the pur
pose of public school education
and to free and democratic
society and to the Constitution
of the United States:
WHEREAS, it can not be de
nied that in the “Freedom of
Choice” plan, as employed by
the Raleigh City Board of Edu
cation, the immature and ado
lescent thinking of public school
pupils and the untrained, irre
sponsible and oft-times indif
ferent thinking of parents are
substituted for the administra
tive and educational functions
of trained, responsible and con
stitutionally responsive public
school authorities:
WHEREAS, the undersigned
has observed that the “free
dom of Choice” plan, as re
cently adopted by the Raleigh
City Board of Education, and
the composite of “Choices”
so made, when compared to the
life situations for which public
school education is presumably
a preparation, is an unrealis
tic approach to the problem of
public school assignment andto
compliance with constitutional
mandates:
WHEREAS, the “Freedom of
Choice” plan, as used by the
Raleigh City Board of Educa
tion, is particularly and care
fully tailored to continue the
racial stratification which has
heretofore existed in public
school enrollments to reflex
ural though misguided
ivages of groups in racial
c iters, rather than to reflect
good faith compliance by the

requirements and good faith

WHEREAS, the Raleigh City
Board of Education is employ
ing the conditioning which Ne
groes have received over the
years as an invisible but po
tent force to continue a “vol
untary” segregated public
schools by totally resigning
from the Board’s duties to pro

WHEREAS, the almost total
segregation of teaching person
nel in public schools in Ra
leigh, in correspondence with
the almost total segregated en

factor in causing pupils and
their parents'to excercise
“Freedom of Choice” in ac
cordance with racial cleavages:
AND WHEREAS, the almost
total segregation of teaching
personnel in public schools In
Raleigh is a denial of job op
portunity upon the basis of race
and is a denial to pupils of
educational opportunities upon
the basis of race:
NOW, THEREFORE, we the
members of the Raleigh Branch
of the National Association for

People, hereby urge the Ra

to;
Abandon the farce of “Free

cordance with the requirements
of the Constitution of the U

Make all of the schools in
Raleigh equally attractive to
all forward thinking persons
of all racial or other groups
in physical appearance, en
virons, school facilities, cur

ards:
Integrate teaching personnel
on the basis of need and pro
