Here's the thing about opposing "forced busing"

[Delarage]

33. OK

My point is that it would have been better to focus on racially segregated neighborhoods instead of shipping people all over the county. Our country does a horrible job at mixed-income housing, income inequality, etc...maybe focusing on those would get to the root of the problem.

And assuming that I was saying NCC "should have maintained racially segregated schools" is insulting, to say the least. I'm also aware that they existed....but I was giving my opinion as a 9-year old. And my opinion now is to fix income inequality and the wealth gap. And, as mayor Baker and others pointed out in their opposition to busing, it made it difficult for parents.

I never claimed to know everything about the issue, I was just sharing why I and many others (black and white) thought there had to be a better way. Biden can't help when he was born---but his efforts in office indicate to me that he's a good guy fighting for progressives.

It would be interesting to hear what various candidates say about Delaware's schools now, since they have basically resegregated. I know a lot of teachers, and most say that the public schools--urban and suburban--are struggling due to behavioral problems primarily. They say that's why charter schools (some of which also appear to be segregated) are drawing students away.

But I firmly believe that fixing the wealth gap and income inequality, along with mixed income housing, if closed, would cure all kinds of ills.
