I knew about busing because some states were under court desegregation orders were still doing that dirty deed in the early 80’s. It is a crime to make people's children travel like that for school in a community they have no interest in. It was way too much stress and risk for the children pawns, too.

Mass. was busing Black kids in from the city to the suburbs voluntarily at the end of the eighties when we lived there. White kids, however, were not being forced to travel to “diverse” areas. The black children whose parents wanted to educate their kids outside the city, traveled long hours to reach the suburban schools. They also had special tutoring so they would not fail in school and get into college. It cost alot of money.

They also had magnet schools which tried to lure in white kids to black schools - it was like a special, mostly segregated school within a school. Political lefties did this with their kids. I thought it was like decorating a place with skin as the kids were not integrated culturally at all. They had no common culture or common ground unless the white kids wanted to play political and social punching bag for the black adults in the school. The kids were kept separate in values, hearts and minds and classes.

I am glad segregation era physical and legal structures were broken down although liberals were too mean to figure out ways to do it right and would not allow integration into an American-American melting pot which they named “white.” The biggest jump was section 8 housing vouchers and the destruction of liberalism's terrible ghetto reservations (concentrated housing) in the cities.

When my son was in middle school and they had just gone heavy in “multiculturalism” which is racist tribal doctrines they standardized and spread nationally, he came home and told me that I am the only person who does not believe that skin defines people. That is why I started studying what the elitists were up to. :(

Your right, young children were used as pawns. The thing is by the time I hit high school in Detroit in the 50's, it was integrated long before it was pushed in the 70's. I graduated in 1957 and Pershing High School was about 20% black and there were no racial problems. Some of the smartest gals I knew were black and education was important, but it happened naturally. At the time the school was overcrowded but had over 3000 students, I don't remember if it was 2 or 3 stories, but to go from one end to a class at the other end and on a different floor, everyone hustled.

The boys in the ROTC brought their guns to school once a week for practice....we had a track for drivers training the whole campus was huge....I have to laugh at the horror it would be to a liberal to have guys bring guns into the school.....it was a different time and most kids had friends of both races...that changed with forced busing that started with elementary school kids....the most vulnerable...That was a time when Detroit was a great city to live in.....
