Jones thanks H. L. Pratt for his note and enclosed editorial about federal judges and local schools in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The editorial discusses racial tensions and violence in Boston due to forced busing and the actions of federal judges. The writer criticizes the use of force to achieve integration and highlights the failure of this approach in improving academic performance and fostering mutual understanding. The Founding Fathers would be surprised by the current state of affairs in America.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
