I lived and worked in Boston during the busing crisis, and one of the black parents I worked with told me that she wanted her children to go to a neighborhood school, not be bused elsewhere.
Of course, that didn’t mean that she was willing to accept that her neighborhood school be inferior OR that it be segregated. A lot of people are caught in this dilemma, thanks to a history of segregation, including that actively promoted by the FHA rules after WWII.
