For Teaching Jobs
ELLOREE, S. C. - (ANP) - Elloree school officials reported that they have received almost 60 applications for jobs abandoned by Negro teachers who refused to write their views on segregation and tell their membership status in the NAACP.
School authorities said the applications were received after news stories were printed regarding the resignations of 18 teachers.
Three of the teachers did not resign, and also refused to sign the teacher application blank calling for a statement on whether they are members of the NAACP.
The South Carolina legislature recently passed a law that no member of the NAACP can hold state or municipal jobs.
