My family got out of SF in the early 1970s. It was because of busing. They wanted to bus my little sister across the city to a school in an almost all-black ghetto neighborhood. We went to neighborhood meetings with City officials and they wouldn't listen to the concerned parents. Our existing school was two blocks from our house in the Mission district, and was racially mixed. Made no sense to send my little sister across the city, so my family moved to the family-friendly suburbs.

In the sixth grade during the early 1960s I was bussed to a half-black school near a ghetto in SF. It sucked big-time, but I only had to do it for one year. I couldn't see my sister doing it from second grade. Unless you're rich, the city of SF is a hell-hole for children, and is getting worse because of evil liberal controls.

My parents wanted to stay in the City, so they managed to put us into Catholic schools, even though they had very little money. We rented in the Marina and same thing, we would have been bussed to some horrible ghetto, late 60s/early 70s. My Catholic class was quite mixed, and naturally so, not forced down anyone’s throats.
