RALEIGH, N.C. – The nation's top education official on Friday joined a chorus of criticism targeting a decision last year by North Carolina's largest school district to end its busing for diversity program.
"America's strength has always been a function of its diversity, so it is troubling to see North Carolina's Wake County school board take steps to reverse a long-standing policy to promote racial diversity in its schools," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wrote in a letter to The Washington Post that was also provided to The Associated Press.
The federal education agency's Office for Civil Rights is investigating the board's decision, following a complaint filed with the department last year by the state chapter of the NAACP and other groups.
They allege that ending a policy in which some of the district's 140,000 or so students were bused to achieve socio-economic balance in the school district amounts to a rollback of civil rights-era changes that integrated the schools.
Duncan's three-paragraph letter didn't necessarily endorse that position, but it did urge other school boards to think twice before using Wake County's new policy as a model.

I hope this school stands strong and ends this failed experiment. Busing has been nothing but a disaster. It fails as bad as of these other forced multiculturalism plans.

I would think that you would fully support busing and the redistribution of wealth as part of the ALF's agenda.
In order words, a school bus may have 10 crackers, 5 spics and 5 gooks.
Another one may have 12 spics, 4 niggers and 4 chinks.
All I used to see were spics in my bus for 3 years.
Do you have an understanding of what a conversation is?
You riding to school with "spics" has what to do with your allegation that busing only takes place in "kick" states?
I advocate Socialism in a white country. Socialism can't come until an all white country is first secured. This is why I oppose the social aspects of most modern socialists.
Also busing isn't a facet of socialism, because it's only supported by rich liberals who send their kids to private schools or schools in suburban all white district, and let whites who actually work for a living lose out on a quality education by sending them to go "learn" how to live with niggers who would otherwise be confined to the nigger section of town.
The state of NY did nothing but glorify how wonderful it was that progress was being made on test scores, lauding all their special programs and actually ranking it a #1 school on some bullshit scale. Everybody knew better. Hardworking families were getting fucked out of their tax dollars, and their kids were coming home with a sub-par education. I sat through this shit, half the school woke up and went to school just to disrupt class, and nobody did a fucking thing about it.
If they stopped bussing in NY the city school would fail miserably, might even close down. It'll never happen, they'll never stop it. Niggers simply can't get by without being propped up, they will never pull their own weight, never pay their share, and are multiplying like nobody's business. Get ready for riots if they do this.
*hick.
I'm half-spic myself.
For once I agree with you on something.
Yes, but for completely different reasons, so I like to think that we don't really agree.
