密歇根新闻广播 探讨一下巴士政策

 

In the presidential campaign, Democrat¹ Joe Biden's past positions on school busing have become an issue. Growing up in Alabama, Detroit Free Press columnist² Nancy Kaffer was bused as a result of a desegregation lawsuit³. That experience has left her with questions about the legacy⁴ of those busing policies today.

Kaffer joined Michigan Radio's Morning Edition host Doug Tribou to talk about her experiences and the role of a legal case started in Michigan that shaped policies on busing in the 1970s and beyond.

Kaffer wrote about busing in a column for the Free Press titled, I was bused to school. It wasn't enough.
