ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP)—A school bus driver let Rachel Armstrong's
three children board the bus Monday morning, but he warned them that
he wouldn't give them a ride home that afternoon, nor could they
ever ride his route again.
The problem: Armstrong's 10-year-old twin girls and 8-year-old
son speak English. According to their mother, the driver told them
the route had been designated for non-English speakers only.

Has desegregation
busing gotten such a bum rap that the pendulum has swung around again?
Have we gone back to “separate but
equal”?
Why didn't I
get the memo?
Was there a memo?
I'm horribly confused.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
