In reply to the discussion: So if Kamala Harris were to be President, would she institute forced busing across the country? [View all]sop
(10,106 posts)22. "Kamala Harris and the Democrats want to forcibly bus your kids to failing inner city schools!"
The attack ads almost write themselves. Advocating for court-mandated school busing in today's political climate, in order to solve the many problems facing inner city public schools, would be as big a political loser for Democrats as...vowing to issue an executive order immediately banning all gas-guzzling SUVs and PUs in order to reverse climate change, or promising to bring back the military draft on January 21, 2021 in order to stop endless and unpopular wars.
What better way for a Democrat to completely lose the support of working-class white Americans in swing states than by telling them you're going to bus their kids 30 miles to inner city schools? Go ahead, Kamala, run on that.
