There's a state supreme court case in nc, [I'm not sure what it's exactly called but Mecklenburg board of edu. is in the name I think anyway] it said bussing is necessary in order enforce segregation because neighborhoods are for the most part segragated and you can't tell people where to live.
well that's a little different than having a school pick (or not pick) you because of race.

Busing accomplishments racial diversity in some schools. But let's say you want to go to a school in 'white suburbia' and they deny you because they fulfilled their minority quota.
That's discriminatory.

the case is being rethought because some white chick wants to apply for affirmative action at a college (that I think is all black).
It's a lot of crazy crap.
