...forbidding the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution. Even Tennessee, scene of the 1925 "monkey trial" of John Scopes, finally repealed its anti-Darwin statute in 1967. Now some conservative members of the California Board of Education, joined by Public Instruction Superintendent Max Rafferty, want to redraw the state's education guidelines so that evolution is not the only theory of man's origins included in California textbooks. Rafferty and his fellow fundamentalists want equal time for the Garden of Eden and the rest of the biblical account of creation so that the children can decide...

To help districts expand facilities to correct an imbalance, the state...

Martin Luther King's march today will reiterate the unheeded demands of two massive school boycotts. The School Committee has taken no steps to redraw school district lines or to locate new schools so as to reduce the number of children attending predominantsy Negro schools. The programs they have instituted to allow transfers from school to school, and to provide compensatory education in racially imbalanced schools, have been perfunctory and largely ineffective...
