A recent Chalkboard essay and a new book by Professor Mathew Delmont contend that school “busing” was a fake issue, that it was simply “a selective way to label and oppose school desegregation.” To characterize the complex issue of school busing in this way seriously oversimplifies and distorts the actual history of school desegregation and misses the reasons why this public policy was so divisive. Moreover, since Delmont appears to endorse socioeconomic integration plans, I could invoke the aphorism, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
