HOWEVER, as an attempt at integration (my friend being white and Jewish), it was less than successful. Mainly, the pupils on the bus make triends during a one hour bus ride twice a day. Who'd have thunk it!?!?
When I was a kid Norwalk had probably a dozen elementary schools, Each school was attended by three types of children:
1) Walkers -- lived within ~3/4 mile of the school
2) Equal Opportunity -- lived within one or more of the low-income housing developments aka 'the projects' and were loaded on the bus and driven 30 minutes in traffic to the school all the way across town.
3) Bus Riders -- lived >0.75 mi from the school and were picked up by the 80% full busses for a short 2-5 minute ride to school.
I was a Bus Rider. I lived 0.8 mi from the school.
as an aside:
One time while boarding the bus I was jabbed in the leg with a pin. The girl who stabbed me proudly displayed the pin with my blood on it. The next day when I boarded the bus, I stopped, and told her if she stabs me again I would but her face through the window. There was a lot of animalistic 'whooping' the bus driver asked what was going on. I said I don't want to get stabbed with a pin again. The driver looked at the girl, she froze, and I walked past. I never saw her again.
The overwhelming response from those parents, was: then we won't send our children to school.
The Progressive-Socialists backed down.
There was a time when people were not afraid to assert that the government worked for them. I think this is why the Democrats LOVE illegal aliens, The bureaucrats can cow the poor, the ignorant, and the weak minded.
If the Collectivists would simply keep to themselves and only impose their will on those who want to be collectivists I wouldn't care.
But since the Collectivists keep trying to impose their misguided rules on those of us who are individualists, I find myself pushed closer & closer to the wall.

Also seems like it didn't impede her. Bad crap used to happen. That doesn't mean it still does. It doesn't add secret virtue. It compels us to nothing. "So what?" Move on, there is nothing to see here. Thomas Sowell undoubtedly faced stronger prejudice. Does his opinion count?
Asking if any Democratic politician is an outright liar is to answer your own question. Unfortunately, all Democratic politicians are outright liars in today's day and age and I can think of no exceptions - just some who are worse than others.
