Few issues divided Los Angeles more in the 1970s than school desegregation and busing.
It sparked protests and political movements — and led to white families pulling their children out of the Los Angeles Unified School District.clashed over school integration, with Harris accusing Biden of not taking the morally correct position in favor of the mandatory busing of students.was part of broader integration efforts, including the elimination of redlining, which kept blacks and members of other minority groups from living in “white” neighborhoods. It was this practice, in L.A.
Busing opponents ultimately prevailed in their court appeals, and L.A. was permitted to create a voluntary busing system, which became the “magnet” program. The idea was to create special academic programs that would be so attractive that they would act as a magnet to draw white students to schools they would not otherwise attend.
In recent decades, the Supreme Court has unwound some of the mandates within the landmark 1954 ruling. In 2007, the court ruled that race could not be used as an overt factor in school enrollment at public institutions. Berkeley Unified — where Harris went to school — experimented instead with integration based on the economic profiles of census tracks. The idea was to substitute poverty for race in desegregation attempts, in part because poverty rates closely tracked race.
Los Angeles was able to keep its magnet program — for which it receives supplemental state funding — because it began in response to a court order. At this point, the court order is something of a legal fig leaf that protects the magnet program, giving it a legal right to continue. It’s not clear that local courts would do anything to force the district to continue the magnet effort.
