Dear Mrs Hicks.
I read about your commendable campaign in favour of neighborhood schools in Boston. Integration will never work + will only lead to more violence and ill feeling. Eventually integrationists will have to admit the facts of life, but must a generation of school children suffer disruption in the meantime until the integrationist establishment wakes up?
Keep on with your campaign- your struggle is very important for America as a whole. If you refuse to be silenced, your stand could be a turning point in American history.
Sincerely.
[Redacted]
P.S. It occurred to me that the following might be a good slogan for a bumper sticker:
SAVE FUEL -- END BUSING!
