Whoa, shoot. He should read about Pasadena Unified in So Cal. They started busing kids to schools across town, so schools were no longer neighborhood schools. Ghetto kids were mixed into upscale neighborhood schools.The school district spent millions of dollars on BUSES, not teachers.
Unintended consequences - Pasadena has a good number of very nice private schools. Pasadena Unified has lost about 75% of its students AND ADA funding, and is closing schools right and left.
There’s a name for it.
Google “magic dirt” theory.
There are ppl out there who believe if you just swap out middle class kids in intact families (and their values), with poor kids with broken, single parent families (and their values), that everything will be just dandy.
For the record, they ruined the all midwestern big cities with this nonsense. It caused, did not end, discrimination.
Let me guess - despite the closures taxes have continued to rise.
Pasadena is rich
They can afford the stupidity of school busing
Lot of folks can’t
That court ordered LAUSD bussing is what blew up the San Fernando Valley. Families that could move headed for Orange County leaving large parts of the Valley to be colonized by Mexico.
People forget why liberals are despised by the people they have treated like pawns.
