A nationwide survey shows Americans oppose busing for racial balance by 72 to 20 percent, with 40 to 39 percent supporting separation. Parents with bused children are satisfied locally but oppose busing for balance. Attitudes hardened from 1971 to 1972 as respondents weigh morality versus practicality in desegregation.
The U S Civil Rights Commission denounces Nixon antibusing proposals as fear driven and divisive. Stephen Horn of California State College at Long Beach testifies to the House Education and Labor Committee that the bills would uphold racial isolation and chaos in desegregation orders, urging opposition alongside other critics. Brice B. Henson of the National League of Women Voters cautions the bid would undermine communities’ integration efforts and remove leverage on recalcitrant districts.
