I always thought it went the other way - that black kids from the poorer neighbourhoods were being bused to white neighbourhoods/better schools, which was leading to the inner-city schools just becoming that much worse, while also turning the receiving schools to crap. Did the flow reverse at some point?
In some places it went both ways. If they're bring in 50 black kids while the school is at capacity then 50 White kids have to be bused somewhere else.
