EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE SCHOOL DESEGREGATION HAVE NOT YET SUCCEEDED. BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED IN VARYING DEGREES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. HOWEVER, ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OFTEN FAIL BECAUSE OF OPPOSITION OR INVOLVEMENT WITH SUCH RELATED PROBLEMS AS RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION. RATHER THAN EQUAL EDUCATION, THE REAL GOAL OF SCHOOL DESEGREGATION IS THE REALIZATION OF EQUAL AND FULL CITIZENSHIP IN AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR EACH CHILD, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, OR CREED. THIS PAPER WAS PRESENTED AT A FORUM OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER (CINCINNATI, DECEMBER 6, 1967). (JK)
