Governor McKeithen Says End of School Choice Destroys Public Education
Louisiana Governor John McKeithen warned a news conference that ending freedom of choice in school attendance would ruin public education in Louisiana. He attacked HEW and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, claimed desegregation orders overstep the Civil Rights Act, and expressed doubt about private or parochial school solutions. He noted Negro leaders share opposition to forced desegregation beyond choice. He plans regular news conferences but does not predict legislative tax action.
