Louisiana moves to curb school integration with new laws
The Louisiana legislature, in an emergency session, passed four key measures to resist desegregation. The laws authorize local boards to suspend or close schools, criminalize bribery to force noncompliant attendance, permit private teacher contracts with fixed pay scales, and define intimidation against public schools with rewards for informers. Governor Davis quickly signed them, framing the plan as an original Louisiana approach distinct from Georgia or Virginia plans.
