What is your evidence for your assertion that it was enforced along racially discriminatory lines? Or did you go to school in 1964?

What, did racism end with “I have a dream…”?
Public high schools in Georgia were still holding segregated proms no more than 10 years ago.

The elimination of personal racism in towns of less than 1,500 people in rural georgia isn’t a prerequisite to be skeptical of the claim that a university, which is subject to tremendous legal scrutiny and liability, is treating people differently based on race with regard to rule enforcement.
Especially so when you’re invoking the specter of racially discriminatory enforcement as a reason against rules that would be highly beneficial for everyone. You can’t invoke unproven allegations of racism to argue against having rules and enforcing them. That’s just a red herring for people who don’t like rules.
OP stated that they witnessed the discrepancy firsthand. They didn't name the school, how are you so confident that they're wrong?
