[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash : we do not currently and will never have a system where all children can attend the closest school to them. We currently bus many kids to school. This idea that "busing" is some new and dangerous idea is preposterous. And the idea that reducing segregation has no benefits goes against decades of research. The "anti-busing" movement is racist at its core. I know many of you have convinced yourselves you just want "neighborhood schools" but that is simply not a coherent argument.[/quote]
OK, so you're a pro-buser.  Thank you for admitting it.[/quote]
Unsupported conclusion.

C- on the DCUM Troll Scale! [/quote]

I appreciate you sticking up for me, but I am a "pro-buser". Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, not every student can live close enough to their school to walk to it. I think it's important for the school system to provide bus transportation so that students can get to school.[/quote]
Ah, I think you're confused.  Busing isn't simply the act of riding a bus.  Busing is the act of assigning kids to schools based on their skin color and family income like the MCPS boundary policy directs the BOE to do.  Do you support that kind of busing?[/quote]
