Schools were supposed to be desegregated by a 1954 supreme court decision. But you can't legislate away peoples' attitudes. If you're 20 when they open the doors to niggers, you're still just 38 in 1972, damn straight you're gonna do everything you can to prevent your daughters from meeting Tyrone and choosing to racemix with him.
Needless to say the decision was quite unpopular with a majority of Americans. George Wallace in Alabama held the seat of governor famously proclaiming "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" at his inaugural address in 1963.
In Virginia they literally closed the schools down rather than integrate (pic related)
In California they were sneakier about it, using school zoning laws and """"IQ tests"""" (administered live by psychologists, like all real IQ tests) to manufacture pretenses for continued segregation
