Nix said students who must be bused long distances to achieve racial balance are “abused” and cannot get an adequate education as a result. The parents of about 70 children in Forest Hill, who ran a “squatters school” for almost two weeks after the desegregation order went into effect, are running a “community learning center’ at three Baptist churches with hopes of turning it into a full fledged school. Wednesday was the first full day of classes at the learning center. “My first goal is for the benefit of the children,” Nix said. “I want to be sure that the children are receiving a basic skills educational program. “We are willing to work with the parents of Forest Hill to seek some sort of non-school approval — but in doing so, in working with them, my major goal will be looking out for the benefit of the child. ” The U.S. Supreme Court is slated to discuss the Rapides Parish desegregation case next week. An announcement on its action is likely Oct. 6 when the court opens its fall term. The parish school board has asked the S Court to delay the desegregation plan setup!] District Judge Nauman Scott.
