Governor Orval Faubus stopped integration in public schools because he wants to prevent integration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central high was integrated in the year 1957. But one year after this integration in the year 1958 in September, Governor Orval Faubus ordered to close all the little rock's high schools. These schools were closed for a year and as a result of this, public votes were kept pending.

The intention behind this was to stop the attendance of the African Americans. The governor called out Arkansas national guard to prevent integration and to stand at central high schools. He wanted to prevent the bloodshed the desecration would result into.
