Senate votes down southern freedom of choice amendment
Senate rejected a proposed constitutional amendment by a 57 to 17 vote that would permit freedom of choice plans in public school assignments. Sen. James B. Allen argued the measure would grant Southern states the same privileges as others, while Sen. John Stennis argued it reflected uneven desegregation policy. The proposal claimed schools must be open to all races and origins and gave states broad authority to assign students, criticizing federal control of local schools amid ongoing desegregation battles.
