DELEGATE BARD: Mr. Chairman, ladies and
gentlemen, I would like to speak to the matter of being
colorblind, and second, the key words "subject to dis-
crimination by the state".
I hope the day comes when we can really be color-
blind. Let us be realistic. We know that this is not so
and will not be so for many years. As an educator, I would
like to say that as far as young people are concerned,
they suffer from the fact that we are not colorblind.
The state for a long period of time, this very
state, Maryland, underscored and subscribed to the concept
of segregated schools. This certainly was not a con-
cept of being colorblind. Furthermore, I would like to
say this: each new learning is assimilated to some previous-
ly learned concept. The new is conditioned by the old.
It is necessary for us to set forth in all
aspects of life the fact that the state is making it
crystal clear that it will he no part to discrimination,
and this will make it so.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mitcholl, you have
slightly more than one ninute left.
