The Role Of Archbishop Joseph F that sweeping decision, Archbishop Rummel began formulating plans for the racialintegration of parochial schools. At this time, the louisiana Legislature, in http://www.loyno.edu/~history/journal/1993-4/Smestad.html
Extractions: The Role of Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel in the Desegregation of Catholic Schools in New Orleans by John Smestad Jr. "We are still convinced that enforced racial discrimination inflicts incalculable mental and emotional cruelty and pain, physical and social privations, educational and economic restrictions upon 16 millions of our fellow citizens, and that these discriminations are unjustifiable violations of the Christian way of life and the principles of our American heritage" (Rummel, "Blessed" 1). These words of Most Reverend Joseph Francis Rummel, the Archbishop of New Orleans from 1935 through 1963, reflect the beliefs which guided him in directing the racialintegration of all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. An historical analysis of Rummel's role in the civil rights struggle shall be made through the presentation of the background of Catholic school segregation in New Orleans, a brief biography of the man, and the events between 1953 and 1963 which led to the actual racial integration of the Catholic schools. The Background of the Struggle Desegregation in New Orleans In 1954 the United States Supreme Court handed down its decision in Brown v Board of Education. The ruling held that segregation, as espoused in the "separate but equal" doctrine of 1896, was unconstitutional. Following that sweeping decision, Archbishop Rummel began formulating plans for the racial integration of parochial schools. At this time, the Louisiana Legislature, in opposition to the Supreme Court ruling, passed laws reaffirming and requiring segregation in all schools (McCulla 63). Rummel protested these actions, but "promised that desegregation of Catholic schools would not be rushed into" (McCulla 66).
Extractions: At issue is a New Jersey statute that subsidizes transportation for students attending parochial schools. The Supreme Court holds that the use of public funds to reimburse parents for the cost of sending children to parochial schools is not unconstitutional since bus transportation is clearly separate from the religious mission of the school. The decision is the Supreme Courts first and most comprehensive statement about the meaning of the Establishment Clause. The Supreme Court considers an Illinois state plan whereby students are given "release time" for religious instruction during the school day. The plan allows for religious teachers to come into the schools and conduct religious classes for students with permission slips. The Court finds the plan unconstitutional in that allowing religious teachers into public schools gives them a "captive audience" for state-sponsored religious instruction in violation of the Establishment Clause.

Sports: Columnist Kevin Blackistone It's not the end of the world Private schools entry won't change You would think that Don Hendrix was the Mercury Theater announcer. That the state's public high school teams were under attack from Mars. That inner-city and suburban athletes, like those at Dallas Lincoln and Plano, were in danger of winding up like the good Americans who tried to fend off those Martians 65 years ago: "Strewn over the battle area ... crushed and trampled to death under the metal feet of the monster, or burned to cinders by its heat ray." But as Orson Welles suggested to that radio audience so many Halloweens ago, calm down, please. It'll be OK. It's really not what your imagination has led you to believe. two Civilization, however, will survive. Better yet, so too will Texas high school sports survive. To be sure, please note that Texas was one of only a handful of states that segregated public and private school sports competition for state crowns.

Extractions: Proponents of vouchers have long asserted that the establishment of alternate, publicly funded education avenues would compel public schools to become more successful through "marketplace" competition. Supporters also say that vouchers offer less privileged students and families the opportunity to escape failing schools for more successful options. Accordingly, the Louisiana School Boards Association and the Louisiana Association of School Superintendents are urging lawmakers to reject voucher legislation because, "every dollar spent on vouchers drains a desperately needed dollar from public schools. Parents want good teachers, strong discipline, and a safe learning environment. Vouchers do nothing to enhance these factors for 100 percent of the public school students."

Extractions: Court Rules 6-3 On Equipment For Religious Schools On June 28, the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that a federal program which places computers and other instructional equipment, such as software programs, library books, projectors and televisions, etc., in parochial schools does not violate the constitutional separation between church and state. The case, Mitchell v. Helms , originated almost fifteen years ago in Louisiana, where a group of taxpayers challenged the federal provision of library books and televisions to public schools. As education technology advanced, the case shifted its focus to computers and software. The Supreme Court has previously permitted students of religious schools to receive publicly financed textbooks, remedial classes and transportation. The ruling overturns two precedents forbidding aid to religious schools for maps, projectors and other equipment. While the ruling narrowly applied to computers and instructional material, Justice Clarence Thomas' majority opinion could be interpreted as indicating a broad support for more direct public aid to religious schools such as vouchers, with neutrality as the key to constitutionality: " .if the government, seeking to further some legitimate secular purpose, offers aid on the same terms, without regard to religion to all who adequately further that purpose, then it is fair to say that any aid going to a religious recipient only has the effect of furthering that secular purpose." Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Anthony Kennedy and Justice Antonin Scalia joined in the majority.
