The school district in question was a part-urban, part-rural district covering 550 square miles and serving 84,000 pupils in 101 schools. The school population was 29 percent black and those pupils were concentrated in one quadrant of Charlotte. Even after the Brown v. Board of Education decision, more than half of the black students attended schools without any white students or teachers. After the Green decision, the federal district court adopted a plan to scatter the highly concentrated black-student population by transporting students. The plan would involve 13,000 students and require 100 new buses at a cost of millions of dollars.
If you were a Supreme Court justice, would you order the desegregation of this school district through a busing system to disperse students?
I would only if it seemed necessary. The buses would cost a lot of money to operate and own so the question is would it be worth it in the long run? I don't think the children have to be desegregated in this situation.
ReplyDeleteOnly if the desegregation was necessary to be done. If everything was going bad and it was that bad then I would.
ReplyDeleteBuses would cost a lot of money over time.I dont think that the desegragation would be needed.
ReplyDeletei would but only if it was necessary due to problems with the schools, because they cost to operate and run a bus would cost a lot. I really do not think that they need to be desegregated.
