CORE Backs 'Jones Report’

The local chapter of the Congress on Racial Equality issued a statement today to state its agreement with the authors of the "Jones School Report" and to recommend that the Ann Arbor Board of Education clamp down on the school administration to see that it does not “undermine” desegregation programs.

Saying that the statement’s purpose is "to underscore and extend the recommendations of the committee and urge the Board of Education to continue its ‘full-view’ approach to the problem with meaningful implementation," it goes on to urge, first of all, the closing of Jones School.

The statement adds, “CORE believes that it is meaningless to teach the principles of democracy to any child in a school system that perpetuates and symbolizes the society’s failure to implement those principles.”

Other CORE recommendations were that the school system should hire a person to study racial imbalance and the problems arising from transitional integration and that progress reports and public hearings should be held to re-evaluate the implementations of new desegregation programs.
