Displaced Southern Students Back in School Efforts
The National Education Association reports a survey of about 10 percent of Southern districts found 24,866 students expelled or suspended since summer 1970 and 23,881 in walkouts or demonstrations across 250 districts. About 2,570 were arrested in racial clashes at desegregated schools, with many suspensions tied to protests against school closings and reassignments. NEA urges on-site study, program options, and federal coordination to reintegrate affected youths.
