A plan to combine two elem. schools in D.C. has not been, shall we say, enthusiastically received. One of the schools is 80% black and largely low income while the other is 60% white with most of the kids well off.

"I think it’s not just because the children have to adjust their environment. I think it’s because a whole new set of adults needs to understand the kids, understand their family, understand their needs and how to best support them," she said.
Some Maury parents admitted that they would consider leaving the area if the plan goes through.

Busing was a really bad idea. It's hard to take in the damage caused by the extreme elements of school integration. In my state, there are literally dozens of cities and towns that have seen a significant loss in population and property values because parents chose to move out of town to avoid being compelled to make what they viewed as a poor choice for their children.
