9th Circuit Court of Appeals: Still looney after all these years

[bean]

Kind of like the judicial tyranny the good people of the south had to endure with the Brown v. Board of education cases, the James Meredith case, Little Rock 9, et. al?

I teach history and civics. I deal in parallels. I don't come out and tell this to my students, but some get it.

We just listened to a radio program today called "Mississippi: State Of Siege" and it was about how "mighty whitey" was gonna tell all those troublemaking colored folk to mind their own damn business and quit stirring up trouble. Of course, the interviewed people painted nice justificiations for Jim Crow, how good it was about the white commies came down to agitate, and how it was the NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS.

They also went on about how it was time to "take a stand against Jew-dish-al tyrnE" and that they as good Misssuhsip-eans was gonna stand their ground. (Spelled like it sounded to get the ENTIRE EFFECT)

They played tv commericals from the Citizens Council tv show from 1960, encouraging Mississippians to fight for "freedom" and "representative democracy."

Here's my question, Mr. Greg. Had Mississippi voted on Brown V. Board of Education in 1954, how would that have gone? In 65? In 70?
You tell me.
