How many good schools were destroyed at the alter of forced integration and busing? Were those policies put into place because the people who wrote them thought it would make good schools better, or was it done to make admission to those good schools more "fair"?

If one of the good schools tried to give a standardized test to these new students to maintain academic standards, would they have been allowed to do so, or would the courts have ruled it illegal due to disparate impact?

Race has been more important than competence for a long time.
