States Claim No Authority to End School Segregation

Washington Nov 30 In a 100 page brief Kansas argues the 14th amendment did not intend to abolish school segregation and local governments should handle race problems. South Carolina counters that federal power is needed and that the framers did not anticipate ending segregation. The case heads to the Supreme Court with three interpretations of the 14th amendment. Fatzer says state control is best and federal interference unnecessary. Callison argues the framers understood equal rights but not necessarily abolition by federal mandate. The government contends the question is whether current conditions violate rights, not past justifications. The sides prepare for a pivotal hearing next week.
