Condemnation of Desegregation by Civil Rights Commission
The US Civil Rights Commission warns nearly half of minority children attend segregated schools, with segregation strongest outside the South. It criticizes Congress and the White House for not enforcing the 25 year old Supreme Court mandate and says even the Court appears to retreat from desegregation commitments. The 90 page report uses 1976 HEW data from 3,616 districts, noting higher segregation in the northeast and north central regions and that 4.9 million minority students attend moderately segregated districts.
