Sure. Keep that 7th grade argument going.  :roll: [/quote]

I mean, if you think Brown v. Board of Education is a 7th grade argument then you're and even worse racist than I thought. [/quote]
You're trying to conflate Brown v Board of Ed to busing students between Prince Georges and MoCo?  Yep. 7th grade arguments. :roll: [/quote]

Race-integration busing in the United States (also known as simply busing or by its critics as forced busing) was [b]the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts in an effort to diversify the racial make-up of schools[/b]. While the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, many American schools continue to remain largely uni-racial due to housing inequality.  In an effort to address the ongoing de facto segregation in schools, the 1971 Supreme Court decision, Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, ruled that the federal courts could use busing as a further integration tool to achieve racial balance.

This sounds like just the thing to solve segregation in the Takoma Park/Langley Park area.[/quote]
