Busing was a stupid liberal policy that never worked as intended. It's a perfect example of liberal solutions requiring the heavy hand of government.

The court did not comment in turning away an appeal from black parents in Charlotte, N.C., who wanted to continue the desegregation program begun in 1969. The court also rejected a related lawsuit from white parents, who won a lower court order ending the busing program. They wanted the high court to order the school system to pay their lawyers' fees.

NC Ping!

Thats because the premises of forced busing were wrong in the first place. Liberals in the 60's began to formulate theories on why schools were becoming more "segregated" due to more blacks attending certain schools and more whites attending others. Also accompanying this change was a large and growing gap in test and achievement scores. So naturally instead of blaming falling test scores on lousy liberal policies in the inner city schools, they blamed it on "racism" of the suburbs. So the conclusion liberals came to is that if black and whites were bused around the city so that schools would be less segregated, then black test and achievement scores would rise.

Think about that. That premise is so wrong and rascist its amazing that common sense did not prevail. So in the words of Clarence Thomas, liberals equated being black with being inferior. Thats so wrong.

Dog, I disagree with you. IMHO busing worked exactly as intended. It divided the races. Many whites who were sympathetic to the civil rights movement changed their minds when their children were threatened.

Now that the "problem profiteers" have hit the mother of all race separators (reparations) busing is no longer needed.
