Textbooks: Books shall not be interchangeable between the white and colored schools, but shall be continued to be used by the race first using them.
...WHAT? I mean, all these laws are ridiculous, but after I saw this one I'm pretty sure my eyes actually popped out of their sockets. But wait, according to Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana in the 1960's, I should probably make sure the doctor who fixes my eyes is white, 'cause if he's a different race he'll probably screw it up...PSYCH! There are sooo many extremely successful black people today who absolutely blow away white people. This is because race doesn't matter. There is no gene that automatically comes with your skin color that makes you smarter or dumber.
Back to this whole text book law...what did they feel could possibly happen out of sharing textbooks among white and black students? Did they seriously think there was something bad and/or evil and/or life threatening that would transfer from a black person's fingertips onto the textbook? Did they think if a white person then used that textbook it would transfer to them? I can't even fathom how people possibly thought like this at one point in history. There must have been something in the drinking water.
