There is yet another attempt to rewrite the constitution to remove wording that is offensive to some state residents. Two previous attempts to rewrite that document failed in recent years. I assume because Alabama leaders thought the constitution was fine the way it is. Here are a couple of sections up for revision:

“The Legislature shall never pass any law to authorize or legalize any marriage between any white person and a Negro, or descendant of a negro."

And then there's this in section 256 which states, “separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race.”

According to the linked article,
"And it includes descriptions of former voting requirements that were generally used to disenfranchise Black residents, including literacy tests and poll taxes."

And then this, " ...complicated by a related debate over a 1956 state amendment that said Alabama did not recognize any right to a publicly funded education whatsoever, language that was aimed at thwarting the ruling on desegregation. When advocates tried to get rid of both passages at once in 2004, opponents argued that the result would be higher taxes to increase school funding. Then in 2012, an effort to get rid of the segregation language without touching the public funding language drew opposition from school advocates — ultimately leaving the Constitution as it was.
