Court rules closing of Prince Edward schools legal
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held Prince Edward County Virginia did not violate the Constitution when it closed public schools in 1959 to resist desegregation. The court refused to order reopening and asked Virginia's high court to decide if state law requires operation of public schools. The ruling, 2-1, considered 14th Amendment limits and left open local authorities' discretion.
