[quote=Anonymous]I think the politics of race and class in america (and associated ideological positions) are very different from the issue/question of how to increase "diversity" in schools. It occurs to me that a policy of school bussing, along with "expanding boundaries" of high-SES schools, is an "easy out" answer. There is little proof that those policies will have significant positive effect on the economic reality for entire categories of people. Arguably, there are two much better ways to encourage positive economic change for those most hurt by low-income life: (1) encourage more gentrification in low-income neighborhoods; (2) encourage and create (much) more affordable housing in high income neighborhoods.[/quote]
