>>>>>What IS the answer then?<<<<< What is the question? I don't feel like reading the entire thread, but am wondering if anyone mentioned that the social response to enforced bussing in D.C. was white flight to the suburbs. When the suburbs got integrated, the social response was for white parents to put their kids in private schools. I have posted several times about my experiences in the segregated Baton Rouge public school system, in particular, the fact that at the end of the school year, we would discard the textbooks that were all torn up and send them to the black schools. I kid you not. The black kids went to schools that were in poor shape, the black teachers, for the most part, graduated from inferior schools themselves. When integration was forced, those chickens came home to roost. All of a sudden white kids had to go to those awful schools, use those terrible books, and be taught by those poorly educated teachers. Oh, the horror! Things like that aren't easy to overcome.
