  People segregate themselves and that's the problem, but no amount of 
busing will solve this. Sayles Belton had a good idea when she dropped the 
whole super-bus program and brought back neighborhood schools. Now if they 
could only be equally funded and have access to the same programs and 
amenities [ -Drive around and compare the Mpls. High schools- which ones 
look the best and have the best facilities? You'll see a pattern emerge 
pretty quickly-]

  MONEY is the great equalizer, not school buses.

have time for a more thorough response later.]
