My Wife and her Sisters were Bussed to a “Minority” area School when they were Kids. It didn’t go well.
My son was bused across town for 1 year as were most of the kids in our area (we were in Clemmons and our kids were bused to Winston-Salem NC). For once that school had parents that were involved in their kids education and the schools finances. Fortunately we parents (voters) were up in arms about having our White Kids bused into a all Black School and neighborhood and it only lasted 1 year. I imagine that afterwards all things went back the way it was at the MLK BLVD school my Son was bused to. Look even if you are poor, as I was growing up, you should at least be involved in getting your kids a better education then you have. But I guess when you are a generational Ward of the State that never comes to mind.
