Wichita Mother Seeks Racial Transfer Rule Change
A White mother of five in Wichita plans to appeal to the city Board of Education to move four children from Fairmount, a school that will be 90 percent Black next year, to Buckner. She argues for the same transfer rights as Black students, while officials say current policy allows moves from minority to majority status only in limited cases. NAACP leader Chester I Lewis warns the move could entrench de facto segregation and undermine civil rights goals.
