LULAC rebukes teachers for suit at Texas convention
At a LULAC convention in College Station delegates censured the Texas State Teachers Association for a suit alleging the 1984 teacher competency test discriminates against blacks and Hispanics. They urged TSTA to drop the case while noting most Hispanic teachers pass the test. The body also backed a state lottery, interpreters for courts, and language and immigration positions. Jose De Lara was elected state director.
