Why should only black students be bused into Whitman?  Black students should not have to suffer a double burden of discrimination AND implementing the remedy to their own discrimination, i.e. busing.

We had this discssion already in the BCC cluster in the late 70s, which is why the system of elementary pairings was created.  Students were bused from majority white elementaries (CCES, NCCES and BES) to the nearest majority black elementary (RHPS) and then RHPS students were buses back in upper elementary grades.

Sadly, IMO, this pattern was undermined by the selection of location for the new MS.

The problem with Whitman is that there is no sizeable minority community nearby from which to set up mutual busing.  This problem can only be fixed ling term in MoCo by forcing developers to produce residential and commercial development that includes substantially mixed income-level offerings.  People who care about Whitman integration should be raising a ruckus NOW about Westbard development and asking how many units at what price points residential offerings will be.[/quote]
