A deplorable and shameful condition has been exposed in the American educational system which calls for immediate correction. Educational institutions which claim to be nonsectarian have denied their facilities to those veterans of World War II who belong to certain minority races or religions. Authoritative studies of admission practices of schools of higher learning made by the American Jewish Congress reveal that numerous veterans are unable to take advantage of the rights accorded them under the GI bill of rights because many schools have adopted a quota system limiting the number of Jews. Negroes. Catholics. and persons of Italian origin who may be admitted.
