Bennet on Repeated Debates About Busing: We Need a Conversation About What’s Happening Now

‘There’s a group of kids in this country that don’t get preschool through no fault of their own’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BENNET: “This is the fourth debate that we have had and the second time that we have been debating what people did 50 years ago with bussing when our schools are as segregated as they were 50 years ago. We need a conversation about what’s happening now and when there’s a group of kids in this country that don’t get preschool through no fault of their own and another group does, equal is not equal. And we’ve got a group of k-12 schools that are good because families can spend a million bucks and you got the Detroit public schools that are as segregated as they were. Equal is not equal.”
