It's ALL about quotas, and it's disgusting. For example, a friends of mine has two daughters. They are both of mixed ethnic background. They have the same father. However, to fulfill busing quotas, one was (allegedly) classified as "white", and the other, "black." One is bussed all the way to the west end, the other, to the south end. How is she, as a single parent, expected to be involved in activities at both schools? It just makes NO sense. Why not leave the decision up to the parents, as to where they would like their children to attend school? I guarantee NO parent would chose waking their kid up at 5 am to put them on a bus for two hours a day. Put the 54 mil to good use. Use it on improving education, don't waste it on an outdated busing system.
