shite guys. I didn't even realize when I posted this that Bernie and Warren endorsed it too:
Bernie is especially hilarious because he opposed it in the 80s. So now this really is about to become part of the 2020 platform. Old Joe is going to be forced to back it.
quote:
Federally-enforced desegregation busing — one of the most heated policy debates of the 1970s — has taken center stage in the Democratic primary after a tense exchange between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., during Thursday's Democratic debate.
Now, candidates across the board are being asked for their position on the issue presently, as schools across the country remain largely segregated to this day.
On Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders, a 2020 presidential contender, told ABC's "This Week" he thinks the "resegregation" of schools and communities "is a very serious problem."
"We need to build public education in this country," Sanders said. "We need to make sure kids go to community schools which are integrated, and that means we have to focus on fair housing legislation and enforcement. Busing is certainly an option that is necessary in certain cases, but it is not the optimal."
"Does anybody think it's a good idea to put a kid on a bus, travel an hour to another school, into another neighborhood that he or she doesn't know? That's not the optimal," Sanders continued. "What is the optimal is to have great community schools which are integrated. That's what I think most people want to see, that's what I want to see."
Warren, asked Friday at a Rainbow/PUSH event in Chicago about her stance on busing, told reporters that she has "already supported legislation that uses busing as a way to help diversify communities and strengthen communities."
"I'm already on the record on busing and using busing as a way to help communities that are diversified," she said.

Are they trying to lose more midwestern states than in 2016?
Keep it up!

The quote you posted doesn't agree with your assessment. He says it allows schools to desegregate but is a bad idea. He'd rather do it another way.
