Harris has vaguely suggested that she'd consider forced busing as a strategy. She's essentially suggested that Biden is a racist for opposing it. So let's hear her plan. Is she suggesting widespread forced busing of children in the public schools? cc: @KamalaHarris

Harris will never answer this question, because she knows it's political poison. She understands that forced busing resulted in white flight, which in turn led to more de facto racial separation than before, devastating local tax bases and local public schools.

But she'll cynically declare Biden a quasi-racist who wanted to stop young Kamala from attending a better public school. It's pretty nasty, and supremely dishonest. For more on forced busing's failure as policy, see here, e.g.:https://slate.com/human-interest/2014/02/how-the-lefts-embrace-of-busing-hurt-the-cause-of-integration.html …

I look forward to members of the media not asking her this very simple question: Do you support forced busing? Not, "Do you think we should consider forced busing as a possible strategy?" Not "Was Joe Biden wrong in 1977?" Do you support forcing schoolchildren to be bused NOW?

More generally, does each candidate support forced integration? Such as prohibiting racially defined student groups on campuses?

Whichever one make you appear more oppressive, unfortunately, ironically.
