Youths incite racial tensions
Rebel battle flag
starts student riot
FORT WORTH (AP) — A racially
charged confrontation sparked by
displays of the Confederate battle
flag at a high school here illustrates
how insensitive youths are to mi
nority concerns, some experts say.
Many students apparently don’t
know or have forgotten the racist
symbolism attached to the Rebel
flag. Experts say many white youths
see themselves as victims of busing
programs and affirmative action.
“Part of it is that there is a lack of
history, of knowing about the civil
rights era and the struggles this
country went through in the late
1950s and the 1960s,” Mark Brisk-
man, regional director of the Anti-
Defamation League of B’nai B’rith
in Dallas, said.
“To these kids, that is ancient his
tory.”
The Rebel flag made a turbulent
return to Southwest High School last
week despite being banned by the
Fort Worth school district four years
ago.
Four students who said they were
trying to inspire school spirit were
sent home Wednesday for wearing
T-shirts featuring the flag. The boys
returned to classes Thursday.
But a football pep rally Friday
turned violent when someone
slipped a makeshift Confederate
flag into an overhead projection that
was lowered during the rally.
That ignited a melee between at
least 300 black and white students
who shouted racial epithets and be
came involved in a series of scuffles.
No serious injuries were reported,
school officials said.
On Saturday, two teen-agers were
arrested outside a grocery store that
had been ransacked. A Rebel flag,
racial slurs, and the phrase “South
west rules” had been scratched into a
desk at the store, the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram reported Sunday.
“I think young people in general
have a lower tolerance for issues that
are racially sensitive,” Sara Bullard,
research director for Klanwatch
said. The non-profit national orga
nization, based in Montgomery,
Ala., monitors racist groups and in
cidents.
“I think they grew up in an era of
affirmative action and they have
little sense of what desegregation
means to blacks and the civil rights
movement,” she said.
The racial problems that surfaced
at Southwest may be the result of
ideas students have learned at home,
said Cliff Wiegand, student body
president of Southwest.
Candidates to let voters
decide on lottery issue
DALLAS (AP) — The state’s next
governor - and lieutenant governor
— regardless of who is elected — will
not stand in the way if Texans want a
state lottery.
Democrat Ann Richards and Re
publican Clayton Williams, both
running for governor, said they
would not second-guess the voters if
they favor the lottery as a way to pay
the state’s bills.
Likewise, lieutenant governor
candidates Bob Bullock, a Democrat,
and Republican Rob Mosbacher also
said they would not stand in the way
of a lottery.
The candidates responded to a
questionnaire published by the Dal
las Morning News in Sunday’s edi
tions.
Richards, the state treasurer, said
she supports the lottery and “would
actively back legislation to have this
issue placed before the voters as a
constitutional amendment.”
She said that revenue from the
lottery should not be tied to “any
specific areas, such as education, so
that no state agency becomes depen
dent on that income.”
Williams said a lottery should be
submitted to voters for approval.
“We should consider all possible
sources of revenue for the state
which do not increase taxes,” he
said. If voters want it, said Williams,
a lottery “could be part of the answer
for needed additional revenues.”
