ALL YEARS: Where would you place what the Federal Government is doing at the present time? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)

There is much discussion about the best way to deal with racial problems. Some people think achieving racial integration of schools is so important that it justifies busing children to schools out of their own neighborhoods.
