Question

which did president nixon support during his first term?
○ reduced funding for civil rights programs
○ desegregation of schools
○ eliminating the epa
○ the equal rights amendment

Explanation:

• Nixon's first term (1969-1973) saw him shift federal civil rights policy, including cutting funding for related programs as part of his "New Federalism" approach.
• School desegregation was already advancing via court mandates, and Nixon did not actively support it.
• The EPA was established during Nixon's first term (1970), so he did not support eliminating it.
• Nixon did not back the Equal Rights Amendment during his first term; he only expressed tentative support later, and it was not a priority of his early presidency.

Answer:

reduced funding for civil rights programs
