antibusing
Opposing integration transport
Antibusing describes opposition to busing students between schools to achieve racial integration.
The term emerged in the 1970s when court-ordered busing became a flashpoint in American education: antibusing protests, antibusing legislation.
The movement drew both those defending neighborhood schools and those resisting desegregation.
