COMMENTARY
Haile Selassie
stayed too long
A few months ago the Ethiopian Army overthrew
the autocratic regime of the *Llon of Judah,"
"King of Kings* Emperor Halle Selassie. The army
accused the aged emperor of total misuse of his
powers and gross amassing of public wealth for
his own good. The Emperor Is gone and so are his
close associates. Many of Ihem were killed two-
weeks ago after being charged with various high
crimes. They were not, Incidentally, brought before
trial.   In   Ethiopia,   like   In   most military coups,

Editorial
Forced busing
AH across America thousands of little children have been ordered
to board countless numbers of buses to be carried across neighbor-,
hood, city and county lines in order to achieve some magical^racial
mixing of bodies which satisfies the arbitrary and absurd sociological
notions of misguided Federal judges and bureaucrats.
The very meaning of equal protection of the law has been defied.
Forced busing is in clear violation of the equal protection clause of
the Fourth Amendment which states that "no state shall deny to
any person equal protection of the law whatever his race, creed or
color." ThevSupreme Court 1954 decision in Brown vs. Topeka
Education Board held that a state violates this clause if it denies a
t child admission to a public school on account of his race. Paradox¬
ically, Federal courts and the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare have come to insist that race be used as a basis of class
assignment. It is ironioal that racial quotas and racial balancing are
required to effectuate a constitutional principle that forbids govern¬
ment to treat people differently on account of their race.
The real issue behind the busing furor Is not, as some of Its
advocates would want us to believe, one of busing per se. The issue
is that parents are being denied the right to decide on their children's
education. Last year in a booklet entitled "Your child and busing" the
U.S. Civil Rights Commission stated that, and I quote: "Clearly
parents cannot on their own make the final decision about where to
send their children for public schooling.* I for one, do not find it
reassuring to know that a government agency does not think that the ,
American parent has the native intelligence to decide what is in his
child's best Interest.
The crucial point now Is: do Federal Courts have a right to impose
a school policy that deprives the local communities and parents of
power over their own schools?
Sociologists have often argued that minorities improve their learn¬
ing skills by association with the majority. This assertion Is blatantly
racist. They may be doing so in the name of common good; that is,
rather than foster race antogonisms.. But what Is often overlooked
Is the fact that tn this society more harm is usually done in the
name of good. In other words, the ends justify the means.
There has also been absolute refusal among busing proponents
to look at the results of several years of forced busing. The hopes
for goals have not been achieved. Without any conclusive results
I fall to see why some people still cling to the myth that busing
will bring about equal education for all.
WilUam Raspberry of the Washington Post hit the nail on the head
when he recently said: "It Is one thing to contend that a child should
be permitted to go to his neighborhood school — even if the child is
black and the school Is white. It Is another thing to contend that a
child may not attend his neighborhood school even if both he and
the school are black; that he is entitled to white schoolmates no mat¬
ter where they live.*'
It is about time that more people in this country asked themselves
whether busing and especially forced busing is really necessary?
