Can someone fact check Kamala’s claim that she was the second group of students bussed to another school? Her mother was a cancer researcher, her father was an economics professor at Stanford. For her story about bussing to be true, not sure what kind of neighborhood they lived in. I am suspicious of her claim.

You would have to know the name of the school and when busing started at that particular school. I assume she lived in Berkeley and busing for racial integration started there in 1968. The high school was for the whole city/town and was considered already integrated before that, so busing applied to the lower grades.

Harris was born in 1964. Busing may already have been going on for two years when she started school in (I assume) 1970. It depends on just which school she went to (and maybe she's counting kindergarten or pre-kindergarten).

Also, she may or may not actually have been bused across town herself. If she was considered to be black and lived in a white neighborhood presumably she wouldn't have needed to be bused. But her claim to have gone to a school with a busing program is not obviously wrong.
