Klan wins bid against Louisiana school board policy
The Fifth Circuit ordered a trial and an immediate injunction on a policy by East Baton Rouge Parish School Board banning organizations that advocate racism from using school auditoriums after HEW threatened loss of about 7 million dollars in education grants. The case, stemming from a 1975 dispute over a Klan patriotic meeting, raises whether a state agency can condition public facility use on political views or memberships. Judge E Gordon West was ordered to set a trial date.
