Group Forms To Fight
Allen's School Decision
- A group of residents met in various homes last week in North Lynbrook, Lynbrook, Mal-verne
and Malverne Park to form the Taxpayers and Parents Association (TAP) "to uphold the
right of free vote as contemplated in the Constitution of the United States." According to E.
Seymour Chasin, co-chairaian of the local group, "they are composed of individuals who are
deeply concerned with the problems created by Dr. Allen's directive to School District No. 12
and the rest of the state."

Kehr Promoted to Police Lieutenant
The local association has received
inquiries from as far away as Syra-cuse,
and plan to unite with organi-zations
tliroughout tlie state that
have the same organizational aims
and principles.
Speaking on Allen's decision,
Chasin stated .that his organization
"feels this is a deep moral, emo-tional
and far-reaching situation
which must be amicably solved for
the good of all." "We feel that any
child," he said "has the right to as
good an education as available."
"Most educators," Chasin said,
"agree that the neighbor school sys-tem
is the best ^ucational system."
On the issue of segregation, Chasin
pointed out that parochial schools
are religiously segregated, excep-tional
children's schools are also seg-regated,
remedial schools are intel-lectually
segregated. "We believe,"
he said, "to introduce a child realis-tically
to the heterogenous world
he lives in, his neighbor school is
the only one which fairly gives
every child an equal chance to take
advantage of his God given ability."
"We are therefore opposed to re-cording
race or religion on school
records," he said, "we are opposed
to endangering our children's safety,
we are opposed to destroying com-munity
benefits and after school ac-tivity
offered by a neighborhood
school, we are opposed to lowering
standards of any ethnic group by
overcrowding."
The following is a five-point state-ment
of TAP'S aims and principles:
