The NAACP continues to push the Metro School District over its rezoning plan. There is a hearing Wednesday on a motion to have the entire rezoning plan scrapped. The NAACP claims the plan is nothing more than the resegregation of the city's schools. That hearing could take up to a week.
In the meantime, the school system gave the civil rights group ammunition for its argument by coming up short in the number of textbooks available to students. In fact, it appears that in about half of the city's public schools, students are missing at least one textbook. School officials say it's not about race, it's about books being backordered.
The first case that surfaced last week involved just one school. Now, as reported by WSMV, the NAACP wants a judge to impose a strict deadline for supplying every Metro student with every textbook they need.
