19 People Arrested at North Carolina School Board Meeting


At the Wake County, NC School Board meeting on Tuesday, several protesters and police scuffled  over claims that a new busing system would resegregate schools.  The conflict led to 19 arrests and increased racial tension.  Fox News reported that the head of state NAACP chapter was banned from the meeting due to a trespassing arrest at last month's session.


Every school district has strict diversity guidelines which link with the landmark case from Brown vs. Board of Education.  One can assume that there will be more coverage on this case as this matter will proceed through the court system.  


For more information about this case, please see the article in The Daily Tarheel
