school busing
Integration by vehicle
School busing is the practice of transporting students to schools outside their immediate neighborhood, especially to achieve racial integration.
In the United States, court-ordered busing became a major civil rights issue in the 1970s, provoking intense controversy: The school busing program sparked protests throughout the district.
The term now carries historical weight, evoking debates over desegregation, white flight, and educational equality.
