A survey querying 715 school districts in the United States with regard to the presence and the extent of their multicultural education curricula and instructional activities reveals that 72.5 percent of the respondent districts have introduced ethnic studies curricula into their elementary or secondary school programs. Included in the research report are percentage breakdowns of the ethnic composition of both the school children and the teachers and educational administrators who participated in the survey, as well as an investigation of the specific curricula content of the ethnic studies programs. Much information is presented in tabular form. (LH)
