[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely do. But . . . not enough to support busing. I don't think any child, regardless of race or socioeconomic class, is served by having to wake up earlier to take a longer bus ride to school or getting home later due to the bus ride. Kids already don't get enough sleep, and it's a real health issue. Tired kids don't learn as well. We should make every effort to send our kids to the closest schools possible. [/quote]

[b]Which is why you support the development of low-income housing in your community to promote increased diversity in neighborhoods and schools?! If so, kudos.[/b][/quote]

Not everyone thinks it's the government's place to promote increased diversity.[/quote]

[b]Fair enough. But for someone like the pp who says they support greater integration at their child's school, but they don't support busing. How is that integration going to happen? If you think we should just let integration or segregation happen as it happens, that is a different position.[/quote][/b]

Perhaps the PP thinks people have the right to free association, people have the right to live and send their kids to school among whom they want.  She might personally think that diversity is a good thing and be happy to see it where it exists, but also not think that it's something that the government needs to enforce on people who aren't interested in it.
