Nothing offends me more than this assinine idea.
First, if you live in a nice area, you pay property taxes. The government rapes your wallet. Maybe you should get something in return for that? Cool... so your kids get to go to a good school that you paid for. But wait, nope... your kids are going to get shipped to a shitty inner city school instead.
Often times you have to take a long bus ride, sometimes more than an hour in both directions. This is harmful to kids, young adults need sleep, need time to do homework and extracurricular activities.
Secondly, white kids would be far more isolated in black schools than the other way around. In my nearly all white high school, we had two black kids, and they had zero issues, everyone was friendly to them, they fit in fine.
White children going to a ghetto inner citty school would have it far worse.
It's not our fault that urban african americans are 70% without fathers, which leads to poor communities and lackluster institutions.
This social engineering is appalling.
Innocent kids should not have to go to shit tier schools when their parents have already paid for their education in their nicer community.
Now, we could make an argument that all schools should be properly funded. I can at least understand that argument because it's not good for anyone to have a bunch of retard citizens voting. Smarter citizens is better for everyone.
Bussing is not the way to go about doing that though.
