Perception is everything. So far as I can determine, Oakland, California, would not have been under a court-ordered “diversity” busing order, unlike schools in many of the racially divided South and urban centers like Chicago that had high friction between the racial divisions exacerbated by schools of vastly differing academic standing.
If the young Kamala Harris was “forced” into busing to school, it was to a school within the district in which her parents were then dwelling, and NOT to achieve “racial diversity”.
She is a whole “racial diversity” all by herself. Devil spawn and snarling wolf child.
Sorry, but busing was in effect here in the SF Bay Area. In 1971, when busing orders went out, my family went to meetings at our local school in San Francisco where residents were outspoken against the coming busing of students. My younger sister was 8 years old and was pegged to be bused across town to a black neighborhood, away from her school three blocks from our home. I had been bused around 1962 away from that same school three blocks away to a black neighborhood school (same school area where O.J. Simpson lived), and hated it. Wasted time in the morning waiting for the bus, and wasted time in the afternoon being bused back home. My local school was cosmopolitan with many races, but I got bused to an all black area. Anyway, my mom pulled my sister out of school and we moved to the suburbs so she could go to a white school, and sister was happier. This same scenario played out in Oakland (where they have white-concentrated neighborhoods in the hills, and black neighborhoods in the flatland areas).
