Interracial Dating Needs Parental OK
From Times Wire Reports
Students in Greenville, S.C., who want to take advantage of Bob Jones University’s decision to drop its ban on interracial dating will need a note from their parents. Bob Jones III, the school’s president, announced an end to the ban last week. On Monday, he told nearly 4,000 students at a daily chapel service on the campus that they must tell their parents if they become involved in an interracial relationship. “We will carry out the will of your parents,” he said. “They will need to have a say in this.”
