re: #66 Political Atheist

False premise-They need not be just like the other.

You like many at the time are okay with one of the most misguided efforts at desegregation ever. The end does not justify the means.

Creationism does not risk a violent outcome. Sending suburb kids to gang territory does take that risk. Some paid the price in injury.

How about this-Fix the crappy schools. That was the other available fix that LAUSD chose not to undertake. And the city turned it’s back on those neighborhoods and it’s citizens too. Which led in the end to riots not just once but twice. Deadly destructive riots.

Busing was the easier path. Fixing the schools ultimately requires at least partially fixing the culture the student come from. But culture is a very stubborn opponent, and most attempts by politicians to change a culture end in failure. So the politicians take the easy route and hope things get better.
