15 You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court's decision of 1954 ® outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws.
