    TO YOUR OVERALL GRADE. ITS DUE ON OR BEFORE OUR 
    LAST CLASS MEETING.
    1.   Batson described the situation in the Boston Public Schools as de 
    facto segregation. What is the difference between de facto 
    segregation and legally sanctioned segregation? How did Batson 
    account for the situation in Boston? 
    2.   In Boston, what was the difference between integration and 
    desegregation? 
    3.   Why did Hicks and others object to Batson’s description of the 
    schools as segregated? 
    4.   Why do you think Batson insisted that the schools needed to be 
    desegregated? Why did she believe it wasn’t enough to fix schools 
    in their local communities? 
    5.   In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton argued there was a public 
    interest in sustaining integrated schools. What is it? Is there an 
    educational value to school integration? 
    6.   What rights did the “forced busing” protesters think they had lost? 
    What were the similarities and dissimilarities between the 
    campaign against desegregation and the civil rights struggle? 

    7.   Do you think that the white majority had a moral and legal 
    responsibility to help blacks in Boston’s impoverished 
    neighborhoods? Do civic responsibilities cross community 
    boundaries or is each com- munity responsible for only itself? 
    8.   How do you think young students would have reacted to the busing 
    without pressure from their par- ents and the presence of the 
    media? 
    9.   In 
    Milliken v. Bradley
    , a case involving school desegregation in 
    Detroit, Michigan, in 1974, the US Supreme Court ruled that 
    busing procedures were confined to school districts within the city. 
    In Boston, desegregation busing had also involved only city schools. 
    What do you think would have happened if suburban communities 
    had been affected by court-ordered busing?
