Why would the governor of Arkansas try to prevent African Americans from attending school?

Governor Orval Faubus announced that he would call in the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the African American students entry to Central High, claiming this action was for the students' own protection. He enlisted the National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Central High School in Little Rock. After the Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional in the 1954 Brown cases, it ordered that schools be desegregated with “all deliberate speed.” But many white Americans, especially in the South, responded angrily to the Court’s rulings. They did not want public schools to be desegregated. Soon, "Massive Resistance, a campaign to block desegregation at the local, state, and national level, was underway. In late summer 1956, crowds of angry whites prevented the desegregation of public schools in Texas, Tennessee, and elsewhere. And, since the Supreme Court’s ruling applied to public but not to private schools, some counties simply closed public schools altogether. Some whites also pulled their children out of public school just to put them in a private school. In the end several of the Little Rock Nine went on to pursue their careers.
