It's true that schools are more segregated. It's also true that there's abundant evidence that bussing programs had strong positive effects for the students who used them. These programs were systematically dismantled in the nineties, though, largely because of racist policies in the communities receiving the bussed students.

Desegregation works. Saying that the issue is access to quality resources reduces to separate but equal policy, doesn't it?
