A Circuit Judge ruled the claim that Allen and Laura Platt’s children are Negroes to attend a white school is to be stricken. Depositions showed the Platts have long been considered white, with evidence from birth certificates and local school records, while the defense failed to connect the Platts to any nonwhite lineage.
