Harris says busing should not be mandated

91. In many places it is.

In my county that certainly is the case. Pretty much all over the county we have homes that can cost 40 times the value of homes a mile down the road. Unless the rich people send their kids to private schools (we don't have many of those at all), then the kids go to the same schools as kids from the poorer homes. Real estate agents in my county care more about money, if a Black person has the money to move into an estate, the agents are going to sell the person the property.

I understand that the situation in my county does not exist everywhere, that is why Harris' modernistic, nuanced proposals for solving integration problems makes sense. In some areas, busing may be needed because of redlining or official malnevolence toward Blacks. But in counties like mine, simple school construction and building magnet schools to attract parents to send their kids there works perfectly fine, those solutions would be locally managed along federal guidelines.
