I think Moses makes a good case. But the methods used in that era did stink.
We moved where we moved when I was young to take advantage of a very nice local school. By third grade we were being bused all over town. The schools were the same, the funding was the same.. Just plain silly. By Junior High we all would have been in a central school anyway - so what was the big deal? This debacle was not even mandated by the state or Feds, but rather do-gooders on the Board of Ed with kids in private schools or no kids at all... The next town over - lilly white. No busing at all. My hometown? In the shi*ter. Only two people I grew up there with still live there..
