Their recommendations and a discussion of the forces in American society that make them necessary comprise this report. The introduction explains the relevance of the fight for human rights to the work of the NEA and its members. The first section traces discrimination in institutions against minority groups. The second section describes the role of schools in dealing with the human rights of certain children, teachers, and citizens.
