“…However, minority parents were slightly more positive than White parents. These perceptions by minority parents are in agreement with other research (Braddock, 191;Scott, 1981), which suggests that minority parents expect a more positive impact from integration. Sobel (1980) found these perceptions to be true in Dallas, Texas, even when parents did not know whether their children were in racially integrated schools or segregated schools; they were more satisfied if they thought their children were in integrated schools and less satisfied if they thought they were in segregated schools when the reverse was true.…”

In the early 1970s, Black elementary and secondary school children enrolled in the Dalton Public School DistrictI asked the U.S. Federal District Court to make local and state officals refrain from operating a racially segregated public school system. In the mid-1970s, the Federal District Judge held that Dalton was operating a de jure segregated school system in violation of the plantiffs' Fourteenth Amendment right of equal protection under the law by intentionally causing and maintaining a segregated school system.

To appropriately evaluate the effects of the national policy of desegregation on racial attitudes, data from a national probability sample of 9-, 13-, and 17-year olds were analyzed.

The possibility of ceiling effects and social desirability confounding this analysis is discussed briefly.
