Our substitute teacher was alive during the beginning of desegregation. He’s a funny old white guy, he said that when he’s never spoken to any black person before up until that point. One day, he was seated right next to this black kid who loved talking about baseball. What was interesting is that they both shared the same first name, Robert. The teacher called their names, both of them looked at each and became close friends. He even showed us a picture of them bowling a few years ago.

That’s not at all true. I sure as hell was nervous, after I had the snot beaten out of me my first week (for being wht) and watched four of my best friends suffer the same thing, as middle-class whyt female teachers stood by and did nothing because they were scared of “looking racist”. Bussing was a disaster and both communities, blk and wht were against it. Your propagandised rhetoric does not match up to the real life experience of those who actually had to live through it. Also, I thought you lefties were all pro-democracy? These poor and working-class wht communities had no say in the matter. They were never, ever asked. It was imposed upon them. I guess you only like democracy when it benefits your own interests. But that’s typical of all leftists. That’s how you all are.

Gen x was the first to go through this. It was not easy being bussed miles and miles from your home to an unfamiliar area. And kids were so incredibly mean back then. We had no Internet to go to for support or to ask questions. Nothing. We were children without understanding and bullying was at an all time high both physically and mentally. Divorce rates climbed to an all time high during this time as well. It was loads of fun for us children.

This video was filmed in 1971. Generation X was born 1965 - 1980. So the very first to experience bussing were some in the Baby Boomer generation. The practice became more widespread though as GenX reached school age: "In 1971, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education unanimously upheld busing. The decision effectively sped up school integration, which had been slow to take root."

My mother left alaska in first grade, and went to the uw she got custody when I was in second grade. I moved to seattle with her. My brother went to school across the street when we arrived. I was told I had to wait a week to start school. 8 kids were on a city bus, we were told to hold hands, School had started weeks ago, we were told we would have to catch up. Nobody told me I had multiple classes. A black kid asked to borrow my pencil, then told me there was no pencil, asked if I had any money. I didn't have a schedule was asking where I needed to go. Didn't have pencil constantly late for class, spent most of the day in the principal's office. The principle was about 7 feet tall with a 6 inch fro. He was also my gym teacher. He taught me how to dribble a basketball, but later beat the shit out of me and another kid for being shoved off a bench. By the end of the week there were only 2 kids on the bus. Every day I told my mom what it was like, and asked why I can't go to school here, she said it was the law. I told my dad he got on a jet and came and rescued me. My brother decided to go back to alaska too. I have never really trusted my mom after that.

My idyllic elementary school in Dallas turned into a postapocalyptic thunderdome overnight due to busing. All the students ended up worse off and the weaker students suffered tremendously. I had no idea girls could be so violent until after busing. Seeing a sweet teacher I'd known since kindergarten beaten with a heavy textbook because she had the audacity to ask a black girl to quiet down so we could start class is burned into my mind forever. The look of shock and agony on her face during the brutal attack was heartbreaking. I still have contact on social media with many classmates and we discuss how forced busing obliterated much of our school experience.

Ever considered that it might be about the income level rather than race? Of course private schools are better off and calmer than Public schools in lower income areas. There are less kids from broken families and abusive homes and dangerous areas in private schools. Kids who are mistreated, grow in violent environments and have food insecurity are bound to show behavioural issues and have mental problems. Also the staff in private schools is a whole different level and often cares more and handles kids behavioural issues better.

My family was part of the “white flight”movement. We moved from Fort Worth to the suburbs in the mid 1970’s because they were going to forcibly bus my sister to Como for first grade. I was only a toddler, so I don’t remember any of it, but my parents often talked about how they had to uproot their lives and leave behind the neighborhood they had loved for many years because of this nonsense.

They uprooted their lives because they wanted too. Not because they had to. They’re not victims of anyone or anything. Why couldn’t they just move to a neighborhood they liked just as much? 🎻 😞

I was in 7th grade in Ft Worth when busing started. It was scary initially as Black and White kids bunched together for a few weeks but eventually we adapted. Then 50 years later BLM wrecked what we started.

Lived in Dallas in the 50's and 60's and the schools were segregated. Pinkston, at that time, was all black. The federal government forced "bussing" across town to strange and foreboding neighborhoods was unnerving to say the least. Most White folk in Dallas were dead set against this federal mandate - thanks to liberal activist judges.

Black people did not agree with this either. However, the American propaganda news media would have you to believe it was only whites who disagreed.
