Busing in Kentucky Schools

Since 1971 "Seperation but Equal" has been abolished and affirmative action has been implicated, but how far should we go with proving that race doesn't establish boundary lines? Busing is now becoming a common answer to natural segregation. Natural segregation is where certain races/cultures are found seperated naturally. The African-American race is not a flourishing minority as much as Hispanics or Caucasians are in rural Kentucky. So in order to make it fair and meet certain restriction schools have now begun to bus students from one area or another, but does this not implicate discrimination? This is the begining of another racial hurdle removing students from schools to meet quotas because of their race is the same as 40 years ago removing students from schools because of their races.
Many students have to ride the bus an unnesscary amount of extended time that takes away from extracurricular activities, studies and having a normal social life.

Where a person lives is their choice whether it seperates them from certain people or not; so why can't a person choose where they get their education.

You don't see white people being moved into Detroit and Chicago?
