New York Whites boycott over city school bus plan
In New York City a white parents groups threaten to boycott the public schools as the city proceeds with a busing and pairing plan to mix neighborhoods. The move follows earlier Negro boycotts and involves leaders Kenneth Keating and Robert F. Kennedy weighing in. The plan would transfer about 3,100 students and require 383 bus riders, with half of those in paired schools likely to use buses even without pairing. The Parents and Taxpayers Coordinating Council push to preserve neighborhood schools while religious groups back the board’s plan.
