It did absolutely NOTHING for diversity. What you had were kids who had to ride the bus an hour each way every day, and how can you participate in sports, or drama, or any other after-school activities that build community when you had no way to get back home every night? and if you DID want to play ball for Whitebred High, how was your mom or your folks gonna come see you play? Or even come pick you up after the game w/o some cracker suburban Sheriff's Deputy jacking her up for "DWB"?

And you could look at the lunchroom at noon and decide for yourself what a big-assed failure it was. White kids sat with White kids, and Black kids sat with Black kids. There was damn little crossing over the "colour line".

It was an experiment, an EXPENSIVE experiment, in terms of childhoods ruined as well as $$$ and FAILED miserably, IMO.

I hope Judge S. Hugh Dillon burns in Hell.
