WASHINGTON - The NAACP
Legal Defense and Educational
Fund, Inc., Thursday asked the
Department of Health, Educa

hearing on “substitute parent”
policies used to deny public

abuses that will see litigation
in North Carolina, Mississippi,

Legal Defense Fund Assis

said the Fund is “seeking to
reverse an evolving trend
whereby states use welfare as

“Untold thousands of children
are being affected daily,” they
said. “Although we are pre

and Georgia, the patterns and
policies under attack are com

northern states and the District
of Columbia, ’’they added.
Thursday’s complaint chal

make families ineligible for as

a vaguely defined continuing
relationship with a man.
The complaint, filed in behalf
of two women from Gould and
