Not.
Alabama State Senator Hank Sanders (D.Selma) the Alabama Education Association, and other black Democratic lawmaker say Amendment 4 is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it seems so good but it's so bad, because it's way to go around the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Ruling that outlawed segregated public schools, which the state is determined to continue to operate by hook or by Crook.
Amendment 4 will remove the Jim Crow language from the Alabama State Constitution, but it will highlight Amendment 111, which is the segregation/privatization of our public school system, it will also completely amend section 256 to read as 111, which is the only law in the state constitution that supports PUBLIC education.
So you see they want to remove the racist language so they can continue the racist behavior.

Vote NO on Amendment 4 on November 6, 2012.
It's not about the racist language, it's about the racist behavior.
It's not about the racist language, it's about the racist behavior.

Maybe I am missing something, but free, public education has been granted to everyone. So, how is taking out the language going to change that?
I get that racism still occurs, in that Johnson and Butler are predominantly black schools and have horrible track records whereas Grissom and other are the opposite... But that isn't going to change until someone forces that change.
But, how is this going to affect free public education?
Hi Shannon! Welcome to RedEye's page and thank you for your question. You are correct, nothing is going to change as far as segregated schools until someone forces the change. If this passes, no one will be forced to desegregate the schools because the "racist language" has been removed. This bill also opens the door to charter schools which are segregated, private schools funded with public (tax) dollars. Public schools are open to everyone, charter schools are not.
Right, but charter schools could be passed without this ammendment, it was close to passing this year.
Exactly, Amendment 4 will make it possible for Charter Schools to exist without legislation.
