In Boston, Massachusetts, for example, 60 percent of the parents thought there were more discipline problems after the forced busing than before the busing began.
It is late December now, and people are all busing preparing for Christmas, as it is no longer just a Christian event observed by Christians, but has become a main holiday worldwide.
Instead, families were worried that this forced busing – forced desegregation would hurt their own neighborhood schools, the schools nearest to where they lived, and create more problems with discipline.
The routes that they're running are really large, which means that if you're not operating busing, there's potentially large savings on gas and, you know, the amount of time you're paying a bus driver.
Finally in 1971, almost 20 years later, the Supreme Court again had a case in which it decided that it was legal to use busing to end this school segregation.
