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.
Crazy Bernie needs to ask himself: Why are the people naturally segregating themselves? (It's not being done by the government).
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.
“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
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.
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.
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?
That'll stop the cry for this bullshit.
Vouchers will decrease segregation in the schools. Why aren’t you for Vouchers, Bernie. You’re just for government intrusion into everybody’s life.

I’m almost certain he does, although AFAIK he was never specifically asked.
Busing of students did not work then, and it will not work now. There are areas of greater or lesser concentration of some “racial” types, but forcibly putting children of one demographic group in close contact with those of another demographic group, just to satisfy “balance”, is wrong and done only with mischievous intent. The later alternative offering school CHOICE, in which the parents and the children has some voice in which school they could or should attend, with the aid of school vouchers issued by the state, provided the opportunity to escape really poorly administered school districts and put pressure on the real purpose of education, to provide an educational experience that led to gainful and fulfilling living as an adult.
Are they going to use environmentally safe buses? What will AOC say? Oh, the horror. Gasp. Choke. Cough!
Of course he is.
Regardless what misguided, post-17th Amendment ratification Senator Sanders is saying about busing for school integration, patriots are reminded of the following.
The states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate policy for INTRAstate schooling. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson, Justice Joseph Story, and other state sovereignty-respecting justices.
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So while Sen. Sanders’ heart is arguably in the right place, federal Democrats and RINOs who want to win votes with promises of social engineering need to get themselves elected to state governments so that they can use the unique 10th Amendment-powers of the states to experiment with things like school bus integration, depending on what the legal majority citizen voters of a given state want.
Justice Brandeis had put it this way.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG!
Busing to gain a "proper" skin color mix, has always failed, too. Many, if not most, parents chose their home community with an important part of the selection based on the quality of the school system. Part of quality included being close enough to schools that the kids can walk to school. Forcing them to take a bus to a far away school has a simple solution - move. I guess Bernie would fix that by outlawing moving.
