B
The Confederate emblem became a symbol of segregation.
C
Georgia voters voiced support for racial integration.
D
The General Assembly made efforts to avoid desegregating schools.
E
Georgia parents became less interested in sending their children to private schools.

Explanation

After the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, Georgia leaders and many white Georgians resisted school integration. The General Assembly took steps to delay or avoid desegregating public schools, and Confederate symbols—including battle flags and the Confederate emblem—became more prominent as symbols of resistance to integration and segregation. Georgia voters did not broadly voice support for racial integration, and interest in private schools grew rather than declined.
