 The Defenders of State Sovereignty and Individual Liberties invite those who desire our schools to remain separate to join with us.

In Summary the Defenders favor:


 * 1) Constitutional Amendments permitting General Assembly to adopt such laws relating to education as the needs of Virginia demand; and removing the prohibition of appropriation of public monies to private schools!
 * 2) Repeal of all mention of compulsory education.
 * 3) Prohibition of expenditure of any public monies in the maintenance and operation of any integrated public schools.
 * 4) Application of the school funds, available to a locality, to the school expenses of children attending private schools, in the event the public schools of that locality are compelled to close.
 * 5) The immediate call of a special session of the General Assembly to begin the process of amending the Constitution and the initiation of needed legislation.
 * 6) That all those honored with public office in Virginia and particularly those who are now candidates for public office, make known at once, with frankness and candor, what may be their position on this critical school question.
