Wallace orders Calhoun County schools reopen under nondiscriminatory terms
Gov. George C. Wallace defies federal court orders for the fourth time by directing Eulaton Mechanicsville and Thankful schools to reopen this fall as they were last year. He says massive cross‑race busing creates undue risks and keeps attendance zones and bus routes unchanged. He extends freedom‑of‑choice to all county schools and offers state help to boards seeking reconsideration in court.
