Busing is a whole different issue than integration.

Everybody (well, most) want to live in a good neighborhood with good schools and some folks make the move.

Wake County Schools here in NC is the prime example of busing. Blacks and Whites move to a good area blocks from a good school, the school board wiggles the busing zones and the white kids are placed on a bus and given an hour ride downtown to an inner city school.

Been going on for over 10 years.

Some R’s ran time before last on ending busing. They won and the media hit them like a ton of bricks - they were gone the next election.

The next fall busing was back and the parents were complaining.
