Bernie Sanders open to new busing policies
Washington Examiner ^ | 06-29-19 | John Gage

Posted on 06/29/2019 8:20:49 AM PDT by Steve1999

Sen. Bernie Sanders said he would be open to implementing busing in 2019 after the issue came up during the first Democratic primary presidential debate. “I am really concerned about the growing segregation — once again — the resegregation of communities all over this country," the 77-year-old Vermont independent told National Review in comments published Friday. "We’re seeing more and more schools which are being segregated. And that is something we have to deal with.”

Does Bernie think he can fool young voters into believing that Jim Crow laws still exist?

Ok, another liberal re-do from the civil rights days. Don’t blacks get sick and tired of always being the props for these people’s campaigns. How demeaning.

“I am really concerned about the growing segregation — once again — the resegregation of communities all over this country,"

Crazy Bernie needs to ask himself: Why are the people naturally segregating themselves? (It's not being done by the government).

Well, inasmuch as white kids are the minority in city schools; it is time to bus them out of the city to safer schools.

Much of the demand for segregation/resegregation is coming from minority groups. Shades of the post-Civil War era.

Then, in 50 or 100 years or so they will be demanding desegregation — again. It keeps the ‘race hustlers’ in business.

Isn’t Vermont about as white as it gets?

Yes, I am in favor of busing children from the Friends School, Potomac School and St. Albans into downtown DC to attend the public schools and vice-versa. Of, I forgot, they are the privileged children of the Deep State and the hypocrites on Capitol Hill.

So far, he’s doing a pretty good job.

Amazing these people have no new ideas ... they just keep reinventing the same old ideas that never worked. (I still say the problem is our EDUCATION system ... HISTORY successes and failures, should be taught. They would know socialism is a joke and bussing was a failure).

“We’re seeing more and more schools which are being segregated. And that is something we have to deal with.”

It appears to me the administrations of the some universities and some of the el/hi schools are implementing segregation.

Integration is now an issue with these politicians???

I have been reading almost weekly that “Blacks” want their own dorms and their own “Black Only” graduations.

Seems like someone is out of step here.

He only has to fool democrats - the same people who rallied against the KKK while Robert Byrd (democrat KKK former recruiter) was head of the US Senate.

Does Bernie support busing white suburban kids into the inner city, where they will be endangered and subject to subpar education, while SIMULTANEOUSLY supporting self-segregated black-only zones in colleges?

I’m almost certain he does, although I don’t recall him being specifically asked.

If they can force people to say "bussing is OK" then that demolishes any resistance to open borders.

They're attacking from a different angle.

I'd be OK with bussing Bernie and his wife to South Central LA or Chicago; in fact, any of the Dem candidates.

Good God. First it’s free health care for illegals and now forced busing returns to the Democrats’ platform. What swing states do they intend to flip?

Vouchers will decrease segregation in the schools. Why aren’t you for Vouchers, Bernie. You’re just for government intrusion into everybody’s life.
