Save Our Schools Inc filed a brief in the St. Helena parish school segregation case arguing the state need not provide public education but if it does it must be universal. It says abandoning public schools does not violate the 14th amendment but local option closures would deny rights, and that closing by county or parish basis is unconstitutional under equal protection.
