The Busing of Students for Equal Opportunities

The evolution of the concept of busing as a technique for increasing the probability of equal educational opportunity for black or other minority youth comes from two rather distinct sources. The first of these has lost some of its popularity in -recent months and revolves about the role of the public school as a dynamic force in the acculturation process. It views the strength of the society as an outgrowth of its, ability to absorb divergent, even conflicting, traditions and forge a mainstream which can be owned' by all segments. With the repeated failure of the white educational establishment to demonstrate the viability of this concept (except on very patemalistic terns) and the growing sense of alienation between white and black traditions, this basic premise has been seriously questioned especially by the black community. This problem will receive more attention later
