The Howard County, Maryland, school board voted to implement a massive, 1970s-style busing program Thursday, despite overwhelming opposition.
After one vote failed, members went into a back room, and when they came out, one of the members who voted “no” was crying. They did a do-over and she changed her vote.
Board member Jennifer Mallo lectured to constituents who voiced displeasure, saying it was a “privilege” that they got to witness the meeting, admonishing them not criticize her on social media, and complaining about her salary.
Immigrants from China and the former Soviet Union said that what they were witnessing reminded them of the totalitarian regimes where they grew up.

Chinese immigrants and their kids vote overwhelmingly Dem. (Bleep) em.

It’s great that we as Americans can make newcomers feel like they’re at home :)
Here’s an idea for Asians and Russians.
STOP VOTING DEM!!!!
The part of my district that is in brooklyn has LOTS of both that flipped this usually reliable R seat to D.
Had to have been Democrats.
It has failed before, let’s try it again.
Whoa. I wonder what kind of dirt they found on her.
Immigrants (or rather escapees from the former USSR) in the 70s & 80s said the same thing - but it just got worse.
Sounds like time for massive civil disobedience and lawfare against the board and the individual members.
They are STILL, since the 1970s, bussing in Jefferson County, Kentucky. The county’s school system failure rates are so bad, the state tried to take them over. Tried.
Has busing succeeded anywhere, succeeded in producing integrated schools, for the long term?
I’ve heard many failures, such as busing being implemented, and far fewer white students than predicted are enrolled in the schools. And this is because many white families either moved out of the district, or put their children in private schools.
In one place, Prince George’s County, Maryland, they saw an embarrassment of busing black students across the county, to attend majority black schools, because so many whites declined to participate in busing..
So we know of failures, but are there any success stories out there? Anywhere? And what makes the liberals who run Howard County schools think they will get better results?
These people need to understand that the modern Democrat party is no different to the communist regimes they left. If they want freedom and away from government then stop voting for the radical, modern Democrat party and their thugs.
I’ve heard that some think the Democratic party is for the working man, the party of the people, while Republicans are the party of big business, etc.
I’ve been hearing such stereotypes for decades. People need to educate themselves about what the Democrats of today stand for, not what JFK stood for.
Lived in PG when my kids were young and they went to private. They were reasonably priced.
Another problem in PG county schools was trying to convince parents that their boys had ADD. (More money for the system.)
Sad to hear this happened in Howard. Now Montgomery is considering this. (No surprise.)
Wonder what this will do to property values in MC. Many parents here pick housing based on the schools their kids will attend. I did.
I had the argument the other day with a co-worker while he watched CNN. He is convinced that the socialist party of today is the party of the working person. When I point out how each party gets its donations he is baffled, and confused . I also mention the Dem party of today is not JFK’s party .
Keep voting democrat. This is what you get.
The Dem party is the party of the elite and the dependent. They can be dependent on the government for a job, direct or indirect such as a contractor, a lobbyist etc. or for “benefits.” The vast majority of middle class people employed in the private sector are Republicans or Independents. A working class person who is not in a union is not even considered to be a worker by the Dem party.

She needs a beat down.

The answer is emphatically "NO"... The government indoctrination centers that replaced the public school system are far more segregated than the schools ever were...
The purpose of busing was not intended to integrate public schools... One of it's main purposes was the complete destruction and elimination of the Nation's public schools... This was fully accomplished with the replacement of the former school system with government child-internment centers with the goal of indoctrinating the governments children with the basic tenets of marxism, decaying morals, and a deep-seated hatred of the U.S. and it's Constitution...
A second important goal of busing was the destruction of the concept of the neighborhood as something to take pride in and have a sense of belonging to it... Demolishing or selling or re-purposing hundreds of neighborhood schools and corralling the children from very wide areas into large, controllable, centralized institutions accomplished that goal...
An additional accomplishment of the second goal above was that busing became so institutionalized and part of American life that there was never a chance that a future generation could rebuild the fallen public school system...
Ultimately, all tyrannical forms of government need poorly educated serfs, hating each other, and relying on handouts from their masters... That was busing's brilliant accomplishment...
This strategy of ascendant socialism through gaining control of the U.S. educational system was conceived by the Fabians in the late 1800's... It was carried out between 1960 and the present with the creation of the department of education, it's takeover of almost every operational detail and education and behavior policy, and busing, the final "nail-in-the-coffin" of the parent's right to educate their children.
“This is what democracy looks like”
Funny how the parents complain about totalitarianism and socialism, but they’re still not turning down the “free” education. lol
Their school system is run by their county. So, I guess the county decides where to place the students.
Everywhere I’ve lived, each town had its own school system, and there was no bussing outside the town.
