I wasn’t alive during the forced busing that took place decades ago, so I can only go by what I’ve read... which can’t really be relied on.... as the history of that period in our country has been rewritten numerous times.

So I try to stay away from forming opinions on things that I don’t have accurate information on.

I can understand that. Here's a good clue, though: the forced busing

Liberty and compulsion at the hands of government (threat automatically implied to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) are not compatible.

When was the last time someone had to force you to use something "good"?

Free people reserve "force" for two classes of person: 1. criminals (narrow definition) and 2. the adjudicated insane. Where you find force used against those that don't fall into the two categories you can guess that the use of force is unconstitutional/immoral.

The concept of America is about maximum human liberty with minimum government interference.

Have a safe and happy New Year!
