Ford weighs five year limit on court ordered school busing
Attorney General Levi said the Ford administration contemplates legislation to set a three year plus two year extension limit on court ordered busing as a desegregation step. He noted busing is a transitional remedy and President Ford agrees with that stance though he opposes busing personally. Levi said private segregated schools remain illegal and that the court’s role in enforcing desegregation is still debated. The Boston case was not chosen to push the Supreme Court toward limiting busing.
