[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]
When you can show us MoCo's, Prince George's, and Maryland's deliberate, illegal segregationist policies that need addressing via this legal precedent, please file suit.  :roll: [/quote]

It's called de facto segregation, the same type of segregation east county white progressives say exists in MCPS.  We just need to remind enough people (state and local BOEs as well as local PTAs that segregated schools, no matter where they are, should be fully integrated.  Once everyone is alerted to the benefits of diversity, they will all be in favor and a lawsuit won't be necessary.[/quote]
Then why are you citing court precedents? [/quote]

I'm just following suit.  These are the same cases east county progressives cited when claiming that MCPS was segregated and that they needed to make diversity a priority in the boundary policy.[/quote]
