Now some courts are declaring that segregation in the North must be dismantled as thoroughly as it was in the South, at least where school boards have contributed to keeping classes segregated. The forced busing produced by this stand has caused an explosive outburst of anger and hatred that has vast implications for the future of domestic politics, the public schools and U.S. education itself...
