The Fourteenth Amendment And The "Separate But Equal" Doctrine, Joseph S. Ransmeier

Michigan Law Review

Recent cases in which the Court has overthrown enforced separation in public higher education on the ground of inequality but without consideration of the merits of the separate but equal rule have been the occasion for an outpouring of law review discussion on the subject. The present paper is a part of this stream. Its purpose is two-fold: first, to set forth the judicial history of the modern separate but equal rule, noting its pre-Fourteenth Amendment origin and the rather uncritical manner in which courts permitted it to infiltrate its way from one area of the law to another; and …

A Critical Analysis Of New Mexico School Laws, 1933-1947, Nathan B. Mcneilly

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

It is the purpose of this study (1) to analyze those New Mexico School laws which have been enacted since 1931; (2) to criticize them on the basis of their particular value, or lack of value, to public education in New Mexico; and (3) to suggest revisions which closely parallel the recommendations of outstanding research groups and authorities in the field of educational administration.

State school law is the foundation upon which a state education system is built. In view of this fact, it is highly important that those laws be periodically studied by educations in order that those which …

Constitutional Law-Fourteenth Amendment-Equal Protection Of The Laws-Racial Segregation In Public Educational Institutions, Neal Seegert S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Segregation of races, particularly separation of white and colored races, has long been condoned by American courts as permissible under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Underlying the traditional view is the idea that the equal protection clause is not violated by segregation so long as equal facilities are provided for both races. On this basic premise a large number of jurisdictions, particularly the southern states, have predicated constitutional provisions and statutory enactments compelling racial segregation, while a number of other states where segregation has not been forbidden by express constitutional or statutory provision have achieved …

Church, The State, And Mrs. Mccollum, Clarence Emmett Manion

Journal Articles

On March 8, 1948 the Supreme Court of the United States decided in substance that this language prohibits the tax-supported city school systems of the State of Illinois from assisting and encouraging general religious instruction. Just how a constitutional restriction against specified congressional action can possibly impede the activity of a local Illinois school board is an inglorious mystery of modern constitutional construction.

In one way or another however, and for one reason or many, the Court decided eight to one that when the First Amendment says "Congress" it means, among other things, a local school board and when it …

Schools And School Districts - School Elections - Tax Limitations - Bond Issues - Qualifications Of Electors Under Michigan Constitution, John S. Pennell

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff submitted to the school district electors two propositions: (1) that of increasing the tax limitation from 1.5 per cent to 1.802 per cent of the assessed valuation, and (2) that of bonding the school district in the amount of $182,600 for improvements. Both at the registration of voters, and at the election, the qualifications of the electors were tested by the school code. On the tax limitation question, all registered school electors were permitted to vote. On the question of the bond issue, only those registered electors who owned property assessed for school taxes in the district were …

Constitutional Law - Schools And School Districts - Teachers' Tenure Legislation, Bertram H. Lebeis

Michigan Law Review

Although the question of security of employment for public school teachers was discussed as far back as the year 1885, when tenure was interpreted to mean the application of civil service principles to the teaching profession, the organized teacher tenure movement is of comparatively recent origin. From within the profession itself impetus was given to the movement by continuous campaigns carried on by local, state and national teachers' associations. From without, the growth of the movement was facilitated by a wider recognition of the evils attendant upon the unlimited power of school boards to "hire and fire" their employees at …

Schools - Private Parochial Schools - Transportation Of Pupils - Use Of Public Funds, Fred C. Newman

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff taxpayers instituted proceedings to restrain defendant board of education from complying with a statute which required defendant board of education to expend public funds for the purpose of transporting pupils to and from a parochial school. Held, that the statute was invalid as violative of the provision of the state constitution which prohibited the use of any public money "directly or indirectly" in aid of any sectarian school, and plaintiffs were entitled to judgment upon the pleadings; three judges dissented. Judd v. Board of Education of Union Free School Dist. No. 2, 278 N. Y. 200, 15 …

Schools - Private Parochial Schools - Transportation Of Pupils - Use Of Public Funds, Dan K. Cook

Michigan Law Review

A New York statute provided for the public transportation of school children to public and private schools. Plaintiff instituted a taxpayer's action to enjoin defendant board of education from furnishing transportation, in compliance with the statute, to children attending a parochial school. Plaintiff contended the statute was unconstitutional by reason of a provision of the New York constitution which forbade public aid or maintenance of denominational schools. Held, that the statute was valid, and plaintiff's prayer was denied. Judd v. Board of Education, 164 Misc. 889, 300 N. Y. S. 1037 (1937), affd. (App. Div. 1938) 3 N. …

Constitutional Law - Religious Freedom - Compulsory Salute And Pledge Of Allegiance To Flag By School Children -Validity, Dan K. Cook

Michigan Law Review

A Massachusetts statute imposed a duty upon each public school teacher to lead his pupils, at least once each week, in a salute and pledge of allegiance to the flag. Petitioner was in his third year as a pupil in the public schools, and, in obedience to his father's commands, refused to participate in the salute and pledge. For such refusal, the school committee expelled the petitioner from the school, and he thereupon submitted a petition for a writ of mandamus, to compel his readmission to the school. Held, that the writ be denied, inasmuch as the statute did …
