Thank you We sneak and who's your shmoop too sure

00:05

about to you by hackneyed political stunts For instance avoid

00:08

writing in tanks are checking the following passage the supreme

00:13

court ruled ninety four the states must integrate their public

00:15

schools but few began to do so voluntarily Although arkansas

00:18

had begun to segregation elsewhere in its school system in

00:21

september nineteen fifty seven governor orval fouled us hoping to

00:25

gain political favor Use national guardsmen to block entry of

00:28

nine black students who are supposed to attend little rock

00:31

central high school That school term val This alleged that

alleged most nearly means what and hear the potential answer

basically means supported now foul This was supporting the idea

01:23

that without true to violence could occur But what's important

01:27

to remember is that this was a claim with no

01:30

proof it's not like he was promoting the theory of

01:32

gravity Alright alright alleged basically means to claim something with

01:37

no proof there was no reason to believe integration would

01:40

lead to violence Palace just wanted to gain political favor

01:43

So ay is the correct answer for our next political

01:46

stunt We'll discuss any time a politician has ever said 00:01:50.208 --> [endTime] y'all
