DEFENDANT-APPELIANT'S OBJECTIONS TO 
“THIRD-PARTY DEFEND DART-APPELLEE'S 
PROPOSED PLAN OF DESEC RE IGATION 

  

  

  

     

  

The United States of America, defendant-sppellant herein, 

fully makes the following objections to the proposed desegregation 

plan prepared by the Forrest County School Board 

il. The proposed plan is based on zones which tend to minimize 

rather than maximize desegregation 

» 

2. The proposed plan results in the overcrowding of 

the underutilizztion of the best physical facility in the school district, 

and use of a totally inadequate facility. 

that the plan was nol divised to satisfy educa-~ 

tional criteria. The burden of showing the plan to be free of racial discrimie 

nation and motivation has not been met, 

For these reasons the plan is constitutionally inadequate. The 

United States therefore recommends that the plan developed by the Office 

Education and on file in this case be implemented as the terminal desegregation 

plan for the 1970-71 school year. In the alternative, the United States 

recommends that the school board de required to seek the ald and advice of 

the Office of Education in developing an altemative desegregation plan.
