That Miss Stella Horton, one of the plaintiffs herein, was employed as a teacher at Orange High School during the school year 1968-69. That it was reported to the Board of Education in the fall of 1968 that Miss Horton had stated to the members of at least one of her classes that "communism was a superior fox'm of government to the form of government which exists in the United States"; that this reported statement caused a good bit of criticism and unrest in the community' that as a result of said unrest the then Superintendent of the Orange County School Administrative Unit, Mr. G. Paul Carr, and the then Princi pal of Orange High School, Mr. Harry Howard, were requested by the Board of Education to investigate these reports; that as a result of said investigation Mr. Carr and Mr. Howard exonerated Miss Horton and Mr. Carr wrote Miss Horton a letter in which it was stated that she was cleared of any blame. That several children complained to school authorities about the harshness with which Miss Horton dealt with children and the boisterous manner of her demeanor and tlie loudness of her speech. That: by Christmas of 1968 Miss Horton had become a very controversial teacher and had brought about at least one gathering of dis pleased parents who appeared before the Board of Education. That in the spring of 1969 reports came to the attention of the Board of Education, and particularly t.o this deponent, that Miss Horton had required her classes in American History to read "Manchild in the Promised Land" by Claude Brown; that the principal, Mr. Claytor, had prohibited Miss Horton from requiring the use of this book; that investigation disclosed that although there was conflict among Miss Horton's students as to whether or not she had instructed her students that they would be required to purchase the book "Manchild in the Promised Land", the reports were uncontradicted that she acquired enough copies of said book for each of her students' that it was further reported to the Board that a black student had reported that he stood at Miss Horton's side and sold copies of the book "Manchild in the Promised Land" for her after she had been forbidden to sell .the books by her principal. That it was further reported to the Board that a Mr. Shuford withdrew his daugther from the Orange County Schools because of the treatment afforded the child by Miss Horton.

Deponent DEPOSITION FREDERICK THOMAS CLAYTOR, being duly sworn, deposes find says : That he is principal of Orange High School,Hillsborough, North Carolina; that he has served in this capacity since November, 1968. That as principal of Orange High School he lias the duty of supervising said school and the faculty members thereof in connection with their teaching duties. That he is well ■acquainted with Stella Horton, one of the plaintiffs herein; that she was a member of the faculty of his school during the school year 1968-69. That during the school year 1968-69, while this deponent was serving in his present capacity, a Mr. W. D. Shuford reported that after enrolling his child in Orange High School, after moving to Hillsborough from Charlotte, that his daugther was treated in such a discourteous manner by Miss Horton and talked to by Miss Horton in such a manner that he, Mr. Shuford, refused to allow her to return to school; that she had been reduced to Lears although she was not a person subject to such emotions ordinarily; that Mr. Shuford was obviously greatly upset and your deponent felt it necessary to remonstrate with Miss Horton about her conduct in this matter; that subsequent to this 96a toccasion Stella Horton humiliated several children by telling them that "they stunk"; that she further humiliated these same children by bringing to class a can of deoderant and announcing before the entire class that certain students should feel free tc come forward and use the said deoderant. That in the spring of 1969 it was reported to your deponent that Stella Horton had announced to her classes in World History that each child in said classes would be required to read "Manchild in the Promised Land" by Claude Brown. Miss Horton had acquired enough copies of this book to provide each member of these classes with a copy thereof. White students reported that Miss Horton made the statement that everyone would be required to purchase a copy of this book. The reports from black students were that she merely suggested that these books could be purchased. Your deponent, upon learning of these developments, Instructed Miss Horton that she could not require this book to be read, that she could not require this book to be purchased. Miss Horten was further instructed to return all money which she had collected from students from the sale of this book and further she was instructed to take up the book from the students. It was reported to your dqponent by a black student that he, the black student, had suggested to Miss Horton that he could sell the books for her if she was prohibited from so doing. This student further reported that he, pursuant to said suggestion, made several sales of books in Miss Horton's presence while standing at her side; that this was done after your deponent had prohibited Miss Horton from selling the book. It was further reported to your deponent by several students that Miss Horton had instructed her classes in World History that if they did not read the book "Manchild in the Promised Land" and make a written report thereon that they would fail the six week grading period. it was further reported to your deponent by several students that Miss Horton instructed them that this report must be made from their own book, and they would not be allowed to read the book, of another. Further your deponent sayeth not. /s/ FRED L. CLAYTOR Deponent 98 a NORTH CAROLINA ORANGE COUNTY • I, Roger L. Marshall, being first duly sworn, state that I am Chairman of the Orange County Board of Education, the defendant in the above entitled action; that I made the above and foregoing Supplement to Answer to Interrogatories and that it is true to my best knowledge and belief. /s/ ROGER L. MARSI1AI,L ________ ROGER L. MARSHALL 9 9 a ORDER ON FINAL PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE [Filed M a y 2 1 ' ~ 1 9 7 0 f Pursuant to the provisions of Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 22, a final pre-trial conference was held in the above-entitled cause on the 27th day of March, 1970. James E. Ferguson, II, Esq. appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs and Lucius M. Cheshire, Esq. and Emery Denny, Esq. appeared as counsel for the defendant. 1. It is stipulated that all parties are properly before the Court and that the Court has jurisdiction of the parties and •of the subject matter. 2. It is stipulated that all parties have been correctly designated and there is no question as to misjoinder or nonjoinder of parties. 3. It is stipulated that there is no necessity for the appointment of a guardian ad litem, next friend or other fiduciary for any party to this action, other than as now appears in the proceeding. 4. In general the plaintiffs claim: a. That prior to and including the 1967-68 school year defendant operated racially segregated schools, assigning teachers and school personnel to the various schools on the basis of race 100a and color: that effective with the beginning of the 1968-69 school year, the defendant, pursuant to its two-phase plan of desegregation, proposed to and did refuse to assign white students to previously all-black schools and arbitrarily and discrimina- torily closed its all-black schools including Cedar Grove Elementary School, a new facility constructed within the past five years. b. That during the 1968-69 school year, defendant, pursuant to its plan of desegregation, assigned plaintiff Stella Horton to a previously all-white school and because of objections of white parents and pursuant to defendant's practice, policy, custom and usage of discriminating against black teachers and school personnel, defendant dismissed plaintiff Stella Ilorton at the close of the 1968-69 school year solely because of her race and color. c. Defendant has continued its practice and policy of discriminating against, limiting, classifying and denying equal employment, assignment and promotion opportunities to black teachers and school personnel solely because of their race and color. d. The foregoing discriminatory practices and policies of the defendant are violative of the rights of plaintiffs secured to them by the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. 101a On the basis of the foregoing contentions, plaintiffs seek to enjoin the defendant's racially discriminatory practices and to have plaintiff Stella Horton reinstated with back pay and exxaenses and to require defendant to utilize its formerly all black schools. 5. In general the defendant claims: a. The defendant operated its schools in Orange County in compliance with, the guidelines of the Department of.Health, Education and Welfare; that the defendant submitted its plan eliminating its dual system of schools to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and that such plan was approved. That in accomplishing this drastic departure from the heretofore method of assigning students, the defendant found it necessary to close several schools and to consolidate various grades in the Hillsborough area. That students of both black and white races were assigned to schools which had been previously both all black and all white. That the schools which were closed were closed without regard to whether or not they had been pre viously all black or all white schools. b. That the defendant decided not to renew the plain tiff Stella Horton's contract at the end of the school year 1968-69. That such decision was not based upon her race and at no time during the cons:deration of the question of her retention 102a was her race given any consideration whatsoever, and that should the school board have had the same information about any white teacher in its system, such white teacher's contract would not have been renewed. c. The defendant has never had a policy of discrimina ting against, limiting, classifying or denying equal employment,' assignment or promotion to black teachers and school personnel solely because of their race and color. 6. There are not third party claims or cross-claims involved in this litigation. The Attorney General of the State of North Carolina has been allowed to appear as amicus curiae in this action. In general, the Attorney General as amicus curiae claims: a. That the State statute (G.S . 15-142) under which public school teachers are employed and dismissed has been brought into issue and its validity has been subjected to constitutional attack by this action. b. That there also exists the possibility of constitu tional attack upon G.S. 115-145 dealing with the removal of principals and teachers for cause. c. That the foregoing statutes, if constitutionally attacked,.are valid enactments of the North Carolina Legislature and are constitutional both on their face and as applied. ] 03a 7. In addition to the other stipulations contained herein, the parties hereto stipulate and agree with respect to the following undisputed facts: a. Defendant's all black Cedar Grove Elementary School was closed pursuant to defendant's plan of desegregation.

The Cedar Grove Elementary School is an adequate facility and is suitable for use as an elementary school. c. Plaintiff Stella Horton's contract was terminated effective with the end of the 1968-69 school year by the defen dant. Plaintiff was advised of said termination by registered mail sent to her prior to the end of the school year. d.

Q llow long have you bee'n a member? A Since 1963. Q I believe you are Chairman of the Board, is that correct?- A That's right. Q Prior* to com?*ng on the Board in 1963, did you occupy any position within the Orange County administrative unit? A T did not. I was a member of the principal's advisory committee.

Q How long have you been Chairman of the Board? A I believe for about two and a ha 11: years. I’m not sure! about those dates. Q Do you recall the procedure followed by the Board in formulating its terminal desegregation plan? A Yes. Q Could you describe those procedures for us? A The Board simply examined its resources in terms of personnel and facilities, taking cognizance of the request and advice and information from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and finally determined upon a plan, and then v:ith the Board’s attorney went to Washington ultimately to confer with HEW officials and had the plan approved at that 1 32a time. Q A Q 1968? A Q A When was the trip to Washington? As I recall, it was in February, 1968. How do you recall the terms of the plan as of February, I.think so, yes. Could you tell, ur, what they were? The plans at that time were to - as I recall at the moment - in the year ol 1968 ~ ’69 move the tenth grade from i ICt ! IFH D R ! ' O R ! iNG c. Y.R v' l r 'C P „ 4 5 Pm 2 '• i 1 o ft L z.

All of this was dependent upon completion of construction programs. Q What do you mean “with a view toward establishing three elementary schools1'? A As I recall, in. the plan submitted to HEW and subsequently approved by HEW we stated that we contemplated the establishment of three elementary schools and this would be completed and the plan implemented in the fail of 1569. Q How many elementary schools did you have at that time? A Let’s see. If I ’m counting correctly-, I believe there were five plus the Central School which had elementary grades in it. Q Do you recall how many of these x;ere attended by only . black children? A At that particular time I can't be sure. We x-?ere operating on a freedom of choice plan and there was considerable mixing of the races in the schools. I Q Under your freedom of choice plan did any white child ever exercise the choice to attend a black school? A I don’t altogether recall. I think that there were some white children assigned to some of the predominantly black schools at that time, but I'm not certain in my recollection. H O I - . i r i r .

A Primarily the atmosphere that existed in the classroom. Q And the issue became more prevalent? A There were more complaints, yes, later in the year. Q Hell, when vzaa the first time at; a regular Board meeting that Miss Horton came to your attention? A To the best or my recollection. Miss Horton may have been discussed in a Board meeting prior to the time that a group of people appeared before the Board very much upset by some things that it was alleged she had said. But I have no real distinct recollection of this. Her name did appear before the Board in a normal routine manner as the Board approves teachers each year and discusses personnel, Q Do you normally approve teachers at the beginning of each school year?

A Here- again, I'm not sure X. could state with any degree of certainty or accuracy but there was a feeling that she was rather domineering, rather aggressive in her conduct, so much so that it did unsettle a number of children in the class and seemed to prevent them from doing their best wet;.. q And annroximately how many citizens or parents v?erc complain ing?

But there v;as' certainly a group of significant sire concerned about Miss Horton's conduct, Q Mere any of them black? A I don't recall that they were. Q Uhat did the Board do as a result of these complaints? A The Board was not anticipating that such a complaint would be made, and when the allegations were made the group making then was asked, as I recall, to state their complaint to indicate to us any evidence that they might have that Miss Horton's conduct had been, detrimental to the educational process. And when the group remained rather insistent that something - I don't recall that any particular thing was specified - but something be done, the Board agreed as it wouldi under any similar circumstance to look into the matter. Q And what did the Board do? A At that meeting or subsequent meeting? Q Subsequent meeting. A The Board asked Hr.

This statement seemed to he the focal point of the complaint at that time of this group. The report came back to the Board that this had been a misinterpretation, it would appear. Both the principal and the Superintendent seemed to feel that this particular statement was taken somewhat out of context. So the Board at: that time determined it would pursue the matter no further.

A That v j u s the purpose of the meeting, to discuss a teacher and three or four students - the dismissal. Q What I am asking is, did anyone discuss Miss Horton at that: meeting? Did anyone complain about Miss Ilorton at that meeting as distinguished from any complaints about any other part of the school?

I thought I said everything I needed to say, maybe not. The meeting v;aa called, a special meeting. lie got - I forgot how many teachers, but a group of teachers - who would not go back to school Iron day morning if u teacher and .three or four students xveren t distnisseo. N ot? o s far as discussing any specifics as to why, i mean this didnft come up. And I think one of the reasons was because the question was asked Mr. Howard, fV.’hat was it?" And he didn’t know. lie didn't know anything at all about why v/e were meeting and he was the principal. And this is when Mr. Carr was instructed to call a meeting with Mr, Howard and those teachers who had complaints, get the specifics and work something out. If they couldn't, calx the Board back that night and let's see if we couldn’t work something out. Now the meeting didn’t make a bit more sense to me, Mr. Cheshire, than I'm making sense to you. Q You are making sense. You heard no complaint at that meeting about Hiss Horton, did you? A Miss Horton’s name was called as the teacher.

A Xt lQ t h e usual procedure for the principal to discuss it with the teacher. It is not necessarily the procedure for the Superintendent to do that. Q Did the Board employ supervisors? A- Yes. They are not in any way allowed to share in the responsibility of selecting or dismissing personnel. They are strictly supervisory workers and they are not administrative 2 2 6 a iorkers. Q i! How these are teaching supervisors? They are supervising teachers. Q And isn’t it part of the normal function of the supervisor to counsel with teachers with respect to any difficulties a teacher may Lc having? A It is. 13 I Q V/as this done in Miss Her ton's case? 20 !| A The supervising teacher, as far as 7. know, never ' l i! counseled with Hi as Horton. Vo you know why? Tell, I don’t knew that there was any occasion to. 21 -Fcr °ne thing, Hiss 1 for ton was in the high school.

A Hell, I don't think there vu::s any occasion when they were called on to counsel her and I don’t think that they were or would have been in their right field or position to have gone over there and asked to counsel her. Now I might explain to you. sir, that we have very limited supervisors in our county. Ue have only two and originally wc asked the Assistant Superintendent to be high school supervisor. However he had so many duties that related to administration that he did very little supervision. lie did work with the vocational H teacher c? striC fJly but he did • v;ork v ‘.thin i:he high sohool. 0 >.Tl-ir.7 V - • * y v •.w. « 1 i a.. i., can you besides h O 3 c a Oc tobor a nd liii to your tlttOi on with ♦ 1 n p e jl A T*]S> f~r -1O in 0 c toher <.;id ‘6 were tns only cues tea' rec a 1 1 • ra c 1 f i. c.a 3.1 y. o r f .p c v t hkitNSBORO. f i c : r f.v'icr: 2 2 8 a 0 Did you discuss Hiss Horton's termination with the principal when he submitted his teacher recormnendations for too coraino school year?

But later faculty members would report back that they had been led to believe that this matter had not been handled at all or had been handled in a completely different way. 0 Can you tell us of a specific instance of this?

And there was another case in which several students came down to rce-to stating that Miss Horton, using their words, said they stunk. And it was about 30 degrees outdoors and said she kept the windows open and some of j then were suffering from colds. And she brought a can of . deodorant unu put r t on. tiioir ciesxs end cold them xx any ox them needed to use it she had it there for that purpose.

You have two questions involved: One is the desegregation c£ the schools in Orange County, arid two is whether a teacher was discharged, or not rehired, whether it was -for cause or whether it amounted to o discrimination because of r a c e or color. Now as to the school question, as I understand it, the plaintiff only questions one thing, that the Board closed what had formerly been an all-black school and sent the children that formerly attended there to other schools-to achieve a racial balance; and the plaintiffs say that some children should have been brought to that school instead of closing if. Is that correct? MR. FERGUSON: That's substantially correct, Your Honor. THE COURT: But wo are not trying now - we arc not concerned with’ whether the schools are desegregated over there?

Can we hear these separately or is it better to receive testimony cn both facets at the same time? MR. FERGUSON: Xf it please the Court, we would like to proceed on both questions at the same time. THE COURT: Well, all right. Call your first witness. MR. CHESHIRE: If Your Honor please, as I understand the final pre-trial order, there was a third aspect that the plaintiffs have alleged, and that is the general policy of discrimination on the part of the defendant in its dealings with its teachers and the hiring and m ’xng ox same as uxstingurshed between the allegation.: with reference to the Plaintiff Horton •£2 i; i ind i vidu al 1 y «, 23 | i TIT CC I ret .1 the order but the impression I got fton it, if m - memory serves » T h ' correctly, an b chat they •/ y lis one teacher V V . c i A* 3.1 Id 1C I ii! 10 1u !i 33 ! 14 I 15 16 17 19 !; 19 • 21 hired or rehired or her contract continued because of a general policy-- You don’t attack the overall. policy of hiring and firing teachers, do you?

Q .all rigut, sir, i.ow you stseod that these are your procedures under normal circumstances. Do you follow other procedures under different circumstances? A Well, 1 used the word "normal" because the ‘63- 8 69 school year at Grange .High School was not a normal school year, in my opin‘on. Q Will you tell the Court what was abnormal about that school year? A There was a great deal of racial turmoil in the school. 3 2 3 a in Go toner we i»ad seme rights, a student walkoutj things were tense. And because of this I did net g o t around, lata:;: on, 1(j lj {j oid not Set around to observing classrooms as much as X would like to have, because I had too many other things, vrall, to keep the lid i.roni blowing off.

Q I will z sk you again if you will attribute the racial turmoil you had there to the fact that these grades were transferred wholesale from Central High School to Orange High School in the 1963-'69 school year. A Well, it might be if they were rot there, there might not have been racial turmoil; but I can’t say specifically what started the racial turmoil.

There van a lot of ill fueling between a certain number of blacks and a certain number of whites. There were a certain number of white students who probably supported George Wallace, and a certain number of blacks who were angry about this, Also there had been a lot of turmoil over cheer leaders . Q Did this relate to the number of black cheer-leaders or what would happen to black cheer-leaders who were formerly at Central High School? A Mere again, I did not handle these problems. These problems were handled by the principal, Mr. Howard. But 1 think it had to do with the number of black chear-leaders and also cheer-leader sponsors who were resigning. In fact, I think Kiss Horton was made a cheer-lender by the State. At this time Mr. Howard was the principal and handling these cases. Q All right, sir. Do you recall that during this period that the black students who were transferred from Central High School to Orange High had a number of grievances that related to their inclusion in the total life nf the school there? A Well, let me say tills: There 'was a young man at the school - who I assume was the spokesman for the black students + Up and he and Mr. Howard heid many GUIc.2 they were talking c 1■Lo*i& the X covild not swear to it, PAGE All right, si: you ur&re oi any teachers vho 10 11 1 2 II •4 I! 15 i! came from Che General High School vhu nay have been identified with the students in trying to gat their grievances aired there at Orange High School? - A Who came to me? 6 : Q No, sir.

Q Were any other teachers dismissed--- Strike that. inrng Were any other teachers not recommended for rehiring on the basis of reports from students? A Not solely on the basis cf reports from students'. There was one ether teacher that I called in and had a long conference with him and told him I thought it would be best that ho did not teach at Orange High School the following year, and that chances are - this was in April - that I would not recommend him to be rehired. 0 What teacher was that, hr. Ciav'for? A A Mr. Walker that taught American history. Right off, 1 can't recall his first name. We brought him in after the school year had started.

The faculty and the Board of 1 Education had adopted a policy to try co get Cranga High School; back on the track of education. I told this young man he would) be expelled from school.

Q Who was that black teacher? A Well, I have tried to find that out in the last two weeks. The two people I thought it was, one of them said evidently no, it was not; and the other one said she didn't remember, that it might have been, but she did not want to get mixed up in this. Q Who were those two black teachers? A Mrs. Cathcart - I bog your pardon; there were three. Mrs. Cathcart, Mrs, Virginia Taylor, and Mrs. Stanback. Q Is either one of them present in the Court here today? A Not to my knowledge. Anyway, at a teachers meeting Mr. James Shumate attended the teachers meeting - Mr. Shumate was a teacher in Orange High School ~ brought this question up, and 1 was so glad that he did. Q What question arc you referrins to now? A That a white boy had cursed Miss Horton and that I 337a refused to expel him; he brought the. question up. I turned it over tc Miss Horton and let her explain it herself, and s h e explained it correctly, however, I noticed there wore ruaiy» black teachers in the faculty meeting shaking their heads when sue got through explaining. She told the truth, exactly how it j happened. Q And that was the only time you heard- from her relating to that instance, is that correct? A 1 beg your pardon? Q fhat was the only time that you heard directly from her relating to that incident, is that correct? A' Well, I didn't go out: and tell anyone about it, so it couldn't have come from but one other source. q Well, it could have come iron seme source other than either you or Miss Horten, couldn't it? A x don't know anyone that knew anything about it but Miss ITortcn, myself, and the boy involved. q All right. How you said you talked with some black teacher about it and you said you took this as an effort to undermine the administration? A Yes. Q gut you didn't deem it important enough at remember the name oi the b.‘.s.ck *.eacntr wno told }Ou wh*»t i»‘ it. that time to Lie.11?

Q Mr. Clayfor, g o you know your individual teachers in the school? A Yes, sir. I know them very w e l l . Q Do you know who the teacher was that you talked with on this occasion? A No, sir, I'm not absolutely sure. However--- Q Mow you don't know of any actual conversation that Miss Horton and this teacher, whoever this teacher was, had, do you? A Mo, sir. Q So what you are relating here is purely a n assumption on your part? A No, sir, it's not an assumption. Q Are you saying then that you accept what this teacher whom you don't even remember told you over what Miss Horton said at the teachers meeting? A I don't understand why Mr. Shumate even brought up the j question if someone hadn't related this matter to him, and I certainly hadn't. Q Wasn't it common knowledge among teachers there at the school that this incident had occurred between Miss Horton and BOH- 3 3 S a pii> Danny Spells? A No, sir. Q The teachers didn’t know about rt until it was brought up in the faculty meeting, is that correct? A This is when it was brought up, at a faculty meeting. Q You don’t know where Mr. Shumate got his information? A No, I do not, Q You don’t know whether the teacher that told him that told them the same thing, do you? A No, i do not. 1 Q You don’t know if this teacher was just trying to spread, rumors about Hiss Horten, do you? A No, I do not. Q You didn't undertake to investigate to find out. All right, sir. Would you state ether instances that you know of of her attempting to undermine your administration in the o8~ v9 school year? A well, there was the case in which I had instructed her to refund money to students who had purchased the book, ’’Manchild in the Promisee Land," and a^so the book, ..sc Jungle that no student was required to purchase the book, cue told students in one ox her classes when they brought uho coo^s up she would give .them the money back, that she couldn’t sell that. 340a hi ' O1 il H You 2 !j A ij3;j Roger.

A When X directly told Hiss Horton to refund the money and she gets around it by sayings ”1 cannot sell you the book but Roger here can sell you the book,1' and she takes up the book and hands the book to Roger, Roger hands the book back to the person and gives the person 85 cents; yes, sir. O All right. New did you tee that take place between Miss Horton and Roger? A Tills was reported to me by students and it w a s verified by Roger.

Claytor, did you -chock it cue with Kiss Horton or didn’t you check it out with Hies Horton? A I can’t truthfully say. Q You deemed this to be an attempt to undermine ycur administration and you don’t know whether you checked it out with Miss Horton or not? A I said X cculd not truthfully say. Q How are there any other instances that you know of that you considered to be an attempt on Miss Horten’s part tc undermine your administration? A At this time I can think of none that can be verified w i t h a n y facts. Q All right. Going back then to the incident involving the book, I believe you said that you directed her to refund the money that she had received for the purchase of a book by students, the beck being "ManchiXd in the Promised Land” by Claude brown, and "Inc Jungle" b y Upton Sinclair; is that correct? Yes i v»- %> a i. < 0 All right, sir. How what was the occasion for your directing her to refund racney to students in this regard? A It van first brought to viy atc-encion that she had assigned the book "Hunchlid in the Premised Land," by Claude 342a page i i . * | j Brown, by parents cal ting ice on the; oh one and aching tr.u if X knew that his daughter was being required to buy a book 3 i! that the book was full of filth, four-letter words and worse, j 4!l that ho did not think it was proper for fifteen- and sixteen- | 5 year-olds to be reeding this book, b e m g required to read it 6 |i 7| ana that if they did not make a book review on it they would fail the six weeks.

Charlie Berry. Q And what is Mr. Berry's race? A Caucasian. q You said you investigated this the next, day? A Yes. I called Hiss Horton down to the office and asked her if it was true that she was requiring these, kids to buy the book. She said it was. I asked her if it was true that they had to make a book review or this or fail the six weekst and she said it was. I talked to her about the fact that I thought the book "Manchild in the Promised Land" had language in it - that I didn't think it was good judgment to start with to require sixteen- and fifteen-year-olds to read this book; secondly, that we could not require kids to purchase books like this against their will. Some of the parents would not let the kids brine the book in the house. And I instructed her to reruiicl the money on both of these books. - - . . „ ■» , . . . . 1 H ' « i 4.« ̂ v'7 Li j V.' Lj.

A i7c.ll, ns I understand - maybe someone else hieher up in education can answer this a little better than I can. I think that it appears; it’s there if anyone wants tc use it.

Q Does tiie book "Catcher in the Rye,: by 1. D„ Salinger appear on that supplementary list; do you know? A Yes, sir, it does. q .Do'.you rind that appropriate or inappropriate for reading by high school students? A I find it’s inappropriate unless a kid voluntarily wants to read it. I find many books that the parents would object: to. We do not allow this to be required reading. If the kid wants to read it on his own, that's his opinion, the same as it would be on Claude Brown, but it's not required reading. Q Are you saying then that if a parent objects to a particular book for a, child, that that makes tne beck inappropriate reading for high school students?

A It had been an understood policy since 1965, as long as I have been with the Orange County School System. Q And v.ho understood the policy? A This was a policy that was understood by every teacher that I ever had any contact with, that the kids could not be forced to purchase supplemental material. If they wanted Co, fine. If they wanted to purchase books, fine. If a class wanted to get :'Ti.mc" magazine and all of them purchased it, fine. But they could not be required to.

X in£c3 uS had the t o tich era at lunch to lead I the students as far as the lunchroom so things would move in an orderly manner, and than they could.go ahead and eat lunch j in the cafeteria or whatever they were going to do. And for a long time t h e r e Miss Horton paid no attention to this whatsoever. She had students bringing lunch up to her; she did not lead them down and she had students bringing lunch to her. This I noticed for a while. There is nothing real serious there but it is kind of disregarding instructions. I spoke to her about trying to tone down her voice in teaching.

Q Is Mr. Hauer listed on the list of witnesses here? A No, sir. Q Who else complained about it? A There were others, but he is the only one that I specifically would swear to that told me.

At that time I told Kiss Horton that this and the other things that we had discussed during the year, that I did not intend to rehire her. Q Did you enumerate to her what the things were during j the year that you ware talking about? A She knew. Q Did you tell her? A I think I mentioned the deodorant incident. X think that X mentioned the incident about the kid who she said that I would not expel for cursing her because he was white. Q That's all you mentioned to her? A That's all I can recall. Q h o w did you have occasion to appear before the Board with your list of teachers who were to be rehired and those who were not to bs rehired? A Yes, sir. Q khen did you appear before them? A I can't give you the exact date. It’s in May of each year though that each principal goes before the Board and makes his recommendations. It's in the month of Kay. Q o£d you at that meeting discuss specifically this point with the Board? A I think she. was the only one cr. there that I did not. recommend to be rent red. Seme, had resigned and some were 3 recommended to be rehired. Q Did you discuss with the Boned your reasons for not rehiring 'her or recommending her for rehire? Yes. Uhat reason did you relate to the Board for not retiring A Q her? The three specific reasons X related are the three that we have alreauy talked about. One was the Danny Spells < I incident; another was the deodorant incident; another was the requiring of the reading of "Manchild in the Promised Land” and “The Jungle,” and requiring that book review to be made on this or a failing grade would be given for the six weeks. Q You didn't mention anything t.o the Board about her being loud and disturbing other classes? A This probably was--- I might have mentioned that.. These are the* three specific things. Q Those are the three things that you mentioned? A Yes, sir. THE COURT: What was the ratio of black and white teachers in your administrative unit, or how many approximately? THE WITNESS: The Superintendent can answer this better than I can, but X would say it's in the neighborhood or ,?3 percent biactc, 3A percent black, and 66 white or 67. t <~ l, 3 • j , Cvj 6 7 8 • 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 IS 17 18 IS 70 21 22 23 24 I 359a p a g : : ;«•>. THE COURT: That high school you closed, what was that, and you brought then all over to Orange High School? Central High School was closed? THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. THE COURT: Did you bring all the teachers from Central over to Orange? THE WITNESS: I think all that wanted to coir:* were brought. ' As I say, I wasn't the principal at the time that change was made. THE COURT: Go ahead. Q (By Mr. Ferguson) Do you recall the number of black teachers and the number of white teachers you had at Orange High during the '68-'69 school year? A I would say in the neighborhood of around 15 or 3.6 black, around 31 or 32 whites. That's just a guess. I don't know the exact. Q Do you know what the figures are for the 1969“ '70 school year? A Ho, I do not know, but I'm sure someone in the School ; Board has those figures. Q Do you know the number for this year? A The exact number - I heard it; mentioned the other day, but I don't recall the exact figure. Q Do you knew whether the number of black teachers in Orange High School is less than it was -* is now less than it 360a FA.Gf was ia the 1968-’ 63 school year? A No, sir, I wouldn't think it was less. I would think it would be more. We have one vacancy for a black teacher there; a black guidance department teacher resigned one week before school started, and that position is still open, Q Kow many guidance counselors do you have? A Two. Q One black and one white? A Yes, sir. Q Do you have available to you statistics regarding the number of black and white teachers in that school since the *68-'69 school year? A I think the Superintendent probably has those figures. Q Do you knew the political affiliation of any of the parents who complained to you about Hiss Horton? A No, I do not. Q You don’t know whether any of them are "Wallaceites" or not? A X haven't the slightest: idea. Q Isn’t it a fetet, Hr, Clay tor, that this student Danny Spells which you referred to walked around the school there day in and day out with a Wallace hat and a Wallace necktie m? A Yes, sir.

Q New since the incident involving the hook with Miss Horton, has the School Board adopted any written policy for the purpose of supplementary reading material and whether or not they can be required? A The School Board has not, to vny knowledge. Q Have you published any written policy since that time? A I have verbally told each teacher in the school. Q You have not published any written policy since that time? A I think these policies should come from the Board of Education. Q You have not published any written policy since that time? A I have not, Q .Now to your knowledge, did Miss Horton discharge her administrative duties at the school with reference to getting in reports and v?hclever one was required to do promptly?

Q Do you have any question shout her professional competence and nestary of the subject matter?

Q You do know, do you not, that even before the *68-*69 school year Mr. Howard, then principal of Orange High School, specifically requested Miss Horton to come there and teach because of his impression with her competence? I have heard that brought out in depositions being taken I didn't know anything about it. HR.

I let you cross-examine. He can have the same privilege. Q (Uy Mr. Cheshire) Would you relate to His Honor what that experience was? A Yes, sir. A gentleman had called, under the name of Mr. Shuford, came into the school one day and said he would like to enroll his daughter at Grange High School. They had been in the Mecklenburg School System. Mr. Shuford*s wife was at Duke for a kidney transplant, and they had purchased a trailer down near the Durham-Orange County line. So he had taken the child, I think uo Durham High School and maybe Northern and Orange, and ho decided ho wanted to send her to Orange High School. So the next day he sent the child in to school.and she was registered by the guidance department, Mrs. McKee, and enters our school. The next morning M r . Shuford i.o back to take his child out of school. He was extremely angry. 7. asked him what the H U L L . : ; ' . : i C f < r r '"..V p ; ’ • S E K v i C E E N 1 j! _ ]i 3 s!i 6 7 i; sir 9 10 12 13 14 15 15 17 18 19 20 21 l| 2“ i! 23 | IJJ— problem was. He said, '’Mr. Glaytor. we like your school. We like all of your teachers, except your black history teacher has literal ly terrified my daughter .11 And I asked him to relate what had happened. She said she went into Miss Horton’s room, gave her the slip from the guidance department assigning her to that classroom and she said Miss Horton bellowed out at her, "What are you doing in here? Vino sent you?" She gave her the slip from the guidance department. "You go back and sit down. W e ’ll see about this." Later cn she said she came back to her and asked her how far along in the book were they in the Mecklenburg school, |and she said cnapter so- and-so,; and she said Miss Horton said, "Well, w e ’ra c.n chapter this-and-that; 1 don’t know whether you can catch up or not." But anyway she goes back home that afternoon and her father said in all of her eleven years in being in school she had never been subject to such treatment by a teacher. This was very embarrassing to me and it was very embarrassing, I would say, to the whole school system that something like this could occur.

She did not say that Miss Horton tolc! her that. She didn’t remember exactly . where she heard it. Rut she said all of the black teachers had been told this, and how shocked she was when Mr. Shumate asked the question in the teachers meeting, that someone evidently had not told him the truth, how embarrassing it must have been to him to ask such a question. She said they were all surprised because that wasn't what had been told, How she did not tell me that Miss Horton told her that. She said she had heard; she didn’t recall from whom she had heard it.

She gave no response whatsoever to it. 367a PAGE NO. j q How, Mr. Claytor, during the noon recess have you had a chance to deliberate a little; have you recalled any reasons that were known to yon or any incidents that were known t.o you about Miss Horton which you failed to disclose upon direct examination? M X . FERGUSON: Obj ec t ion. THE COURT: Overruled. A There ware a couple of things that X do recall that were mentioned to me. However, I did not consider these as being real crucial in making the decision not to real re her. But: I did get complaints that at tiroes after a class had started that several black students w c u I q come into the class and she would step teaching and confer with them several minufces sometimes. ■ IOL LI ) R E t ’Oi 5 ; .L K V IC E POX 245 Pit t'7 ■ a.lt '. all.NbbOHO. f : 1 nO 3 4 5 R 7 8 ' S 10 11 12 13 1-1 15 IS 17 18 19 20 21 ooC-Ia 23 24 25 368a page n o . There was also a complaint that: there was one black student in particular who would coma into her class every once in a while and spend a whole period who was not a member of her class. Other complaints received along this line was that sotaetime maybe in the middle of the class someone would perhaps bring up something pertaining to blacks; she would drop the subject which she was talking about at that time and spend the rest of that period speaking on. the subject pertaining to blacks. Kow these three things were called to my attention. However, I did not consider them serious enough. Q What was Miss Horton's conduct when this unidentified student would come iu and stay during the entire period, in relation to her class? A Well, this is strictly what was reported to me, was that sometimes she would spend quite a bit of time talking to this individual. What she had her class doing during this time, 1 do not knew. Sometimes the report came to me that he would just come in and stay and listen to her teach the class. Other times she spent a lot of time talking with him. q Talking with him and ignoring the class? A Whether she gave the class any work tc do or not, X don't know. 0 Now what reasons did you give the Board of Education : : :F'L O R E - O .V ’ IN * . : : r .-VICE r o . y c . r # . * : 1tONEENSbUHO.

A Yes. Q Now this child had transferred from the Charlotte- 'Mecklenburg system; is that correct? A Yes, sir. Q Who was her rather, if you knew? A I don’t have the address but the attorney does, I am sure. 0 Do you know what kind or ernployrr-ent he was engaged in, what kind of business he was engaged in? A Ho, sir, I don’t. Q Do you know anything about his background or the mother's background? A Well, as I stated, he cane in to register his daughter, His wife was having a kidney transplant at Duke.

A Caucasian. Q And the mother? A I never met the mother. She was in the hospital. Q How you say that she took- a class or she went to Miss Horton*s class and Kiss Horton told her that she had to go back to the guidance counselor--- o A No, sir. Q — -because she was overcrowded? A No, sir. C Nell- what was it that the girl was supposed to have been frightened about, if you knew? A Evidently, the way it was told to me, that Miss Horton in a very loud unfriendly tone said, "Who sent you in here?"

A Yes, there is, if they are sent up by the guidance department or the office. The central office decides whether the student goes into the class, not the teacher. Q If the central office were to send a child into a class which is already overcrowded, wouldn't it be the responsibility of the teacher to return that child to the central guidance office to try to get her straightened out? A It would be the responsibility of the teacher to handle this child in a polite manner and see the guidance department later and see* if there could be any change made. Q Now did you discuss this matter with Miss Morton after i t happened? A Yes, sir, X did. Q When?

Q Did he reaction to you that he had received a D in her course in the preceding six weeks period? A No, sir. He didn't mention anything about his grade. Q You never conferred with him and Miss Horton regarding a grade? 14 !

Q Now you said that a Hr. Staples and a Mr. Walker were not recommence.d for retire? A Well,. 1 talked with Hr. Walker and told him that I would not roc emend that ha be rehired, and he resigned. And talked with Hr. Staples and said I would not rcccrarand be rehired; he did not resign, but he was not rehired. What was the reason for not rehiring Mr. Staples? Mr. Staples had been a fairly good teacher. I think he had had seme domestic problems. Mis work, his appearance, the general discipline of his classes, all deteriorated. When I talked with Mr. Staples about this, he readily agreed that he should not be re-elected; he said he did not deserve to be. Q He admitted to you his own inadequacy as a teacher? A Yes. Q What was the reason you weren't going to rehire Mr. • Walker? A Well, I think Mr. Walker had a problem - primarily his biggest problem was relating to students. It seemed like that end triad hard.

With vhat he had already learned,, he felt like he could go along okay, Q Now did you ever have any such talk with Hiss Horton? A The only conference I can say I had with Kiss Horton was, after we talked about the book incident, she admitted Chat she did require the book to be bought and a report would have to be made or they would fail the six-week period. At that time I told her that this incident and the others that I have already related here, I did not have any intentions of recommending her to be rehired fox* the continuing school year. This was the only conference that Miss Horton and myself had, Q How long did that conference last? A i would dare say not less than 15 minutes and not more than 25. Q Now the domestic problems that Mr. Staples was having were beginning to affect him in his competence as a teacher relating to students; is that correct? A That was my judgment. That might not be correct at .all. Hut he had been a very competent teacher before. In my op if on, some thing had happened.

A Well, I was constantly getting students coning down and complaining about Mr. Walker; and we had several conferences together and it didn’t seem like the situation seemed to be getting 'any better. Q I'm just trying to be clear here now. The matters that you were concerned about insofar as ho was concerned related to his competence as a teacher, getting over the subject matter to his students and relating to them; is that correct? A Primarily in relating to his students, yes, sir. Q And he had a R certificate? A Yes, sir. Q And he was teaching out of his field? A I believe that is right. Q Now you a few moments ago read off come words to the Court which appeared on pave 337 and the following five pages of this book, is than correct? A -Yes, sir. Q And is it your opinion then that the mare appearance oi these words in the book renders the book objectionable or obscene insofar as high school students are concerned? ' l j net di.kNst ■: . i . • v !; .t„ A 384 a ' A .. N O . ; T. have- n o . i l ia do a count, but there m u s t j be hundreds o: such words throughout- the book. If I had & fifteen--or si riteen- year-old child, I would not want that i child to be forced to read that book and make a report on it. Q Why? A Because of the.language involved. Q Because of the language involved? A Yes, sir. That's one reason. Another reason, I wouldn't want r.y child forced and required to read any book, regardless of what: it was. Q You say you wouldn't want year child required to do any required reading? A Hoc be forced to read a book, to buy a book from a teacher against their will and forced to make a report, cn it, regardless of what the book was. You must remember I did the same thing on "The Jungle" as I did on "Manchild in the Promised Land." I said refund the money, period. Q No parents complained about ’The Jungle " did they?

A Generally, I would say it traces a young man through all the different life in the ghetto on up to manhood, whore he overcomes all of these obstacles and so on and becomes a successful human being. Q These words that you called out to the Court as mentioned in that book are words commonly used in the ghetto which relate to this man’s experience in ghetto life; isn't that correct? A I would imagine that is true, Q Are you saying then you would want to shelter your child from the facts and realities of the language of the ghetto life? A I am saying X would not want my child to be forced - and I emphasise the word "forced” - to reed any book against their will. Q All right, sir. How taken,as a whole, would you say that the bool: "Itanchild in the Promised Land" is an obscene or pornographic work? A Well, I'm no literary critic; it would just be a poor layman's opinion. 2ut any book that has as much vulgar language in it as this certainly might fall in that category you describe.

A That sounds about right. Q Do you k n o w what school she taught in at that time? A At first: she taught at Central and wan there for two years and then - well, in '66 - and then in Orange High for one. q Will you ceil the Court what schools you had in the system at that time and what the racial characteristics of the school were? A 1 can tell you generally. I think I can name the schools for you. Do you mean tell whether they were white or black? Q Yes, sir. A All right. We had Central as a high school and union school-- Q Wait a minute. You said Central was a union school; that is grades one through twelve? A That's grades one through twelve. Q Mow was that a predominantly black or predominantly white school? A That was a black school. It was the black high school for the whole county. Q All right, sir„ A We had Cedar Grove, grades ora through eight; this was a black school, we had Hilaud Creeks, grades one through _ U ....... 392 a I’/.,;': eight, which was a black school. And the last: year or two we had Central Elementary, grades, I guess, lour - three - the first three grades were transferred from Central union school to Central Liemeatary. They were almost on the same campus; they were about a block apart, but the bus had stepped ~ brought the children to both schools, and we just took the bottom three ".races or t of the Central union school and mo van them to Central Elementary School. Now it would have taken wince one, two, or three years before I left, three years maybe. Now those were all the black schools. Then we had Orange High School, Orange Junior High School, Carr.tr on Park, Ay cock, and Efland, all white schools. Now they were partially integrated about three years before ■ this. q You were operating under the fraedom-of-choice plan at that time, is that correct? A This is correct.

Q Well, if you know, I want you to give it to mo. If you knew it, I would like for you to give it to me. A All right.

A What do you mean, the original plan? We had hundreds of plans. I started to say dozens, but there were literally hundreds. Everybody had an idea. Q At some point during the preceding year had the Board of Education made a determination to transfer only the tenth grade at Central High to Orange High School for the *63-*69 school year? A The Board asked HEW to permit it to operate one more year and then to totally integrate; and as a result of adjustments between the Board and IlbW, we did integrate the senior high school totally that year. And wa integrated all others as far as it was possible wxth freedom ox choice. 3 9 5 a i tnat plan. Yea. Yes» I believe you’re right.
