        There is much discussion about the best way to deal with racial       
        problems.                                                             
                                                                              
        Some people think achieving racial integration of schools is so       
        important that it justifies busing children to schools out of their   
        own neighborhoods.                                                    
        Others think letting children go to their neighborhood schools is so  
        important that they oppose busing.
