Massachusetts Atty General rules boycott of schools illegal
Boston UPI Massachusetts Attorney General Edward W Brooke ruled that a proposed boycott of schools by Negroes is illegal. He stated state law requires children aged 5 to 16 to attend school unless mentally or physically impaired, and local school committees can enforce attendance. He noted truancy officers do not need arrest warrants to detain absentees. The plan, condemned by Gov Peabody and Cardinal Cushing, could carry a fine up to 20 dollars for parents if a child misses seven or more days without authorization, though likely not applicable for a one day boycott.
