Originally posted by Stoic View PostJust to be clear here, does this mean you are in favor of court-ordered busing of white kids to overwhelmingly black schools, and vice versa?
Of the three Junior Highs in the city I lived in, we were 10% black and the other two had two or three blacks attending them total. When they were done, our school was 25% black and the other two were less than 10%. And all three were within walking distance of each other (at least what was considered walking distance back then[1]), so I never understood why the other two were only brought up to the same level we were at before bussing while ours was more than doubled.
Anywho, of the 10% of blacks going to our school before bussing, nearly everyone of them were bussed to the other side of the county to a mostly black school . Many of them lived in the subdivision adjacent to ours and actually closer to the school they were removed from. So my personal experience was that it was largely a cluster screw up. Further, people often pick where they live when they move to a community based in large part to a school's reputation. Ours was the best in the county.
So while I see bussing as a failure and wouldn't support it, that view is not based on worries that the school would become, as old Joe complained, "a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle."
1 My school was exactly 1 mile from my front door to their front door (on nice days I walked home getting there at the same time), the other two were between two and three miles away.

I get SO TIRED of Biden's 'sad animal stories' -- whiney stories of how compassionate he is, and how there are no "ordinary Americans", they're all Extraordinary..... "I know it's hard, I know it's hard, I promise you, I remember....."
He's trying to be the Nation's Pastor (but without the Jesus part), and it really really gets old. "You're gonna be OK - you're gonna be OK....."
"remain vigilant - to say ... to stay socially distant -- we must end the political....."
And "as one people - as the UNITED States of America"... while he continues his leftist agenda.
OK, rant over.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
