Discrimination charged in antibusing measures
American Party presidential candidate John Schmitz accused the Nixon administration of discriminating against the South in antibusing legislation before Congress. He floated an amendment to relieve districts under integration orders by reopening court cases, arguing most orders target the South with Michigan as an exception. Schmitz said the Republican program ignores past busing orders and favors segregation or integration based on local choice.
