Parents urged to teach safety: obey traffic laws, ride right, use lights and reflectors, slow at intersections, yield to pedestrians, watch for opening car doors, avoid riding with passengers, signal turns, and ride with proper visibility for a safer cycling season.

Rhetoric and Reality in Busing Debates Across America
The piece argues three key distortions in public opinion on school busing. It cites Florida referenda showing majority opposition to long-distance busing and support for equal quality schools, claims Gallup polls show most oppose forced busing while supporting desegregation, and notes division is overstated by liberal elites. It emphasizes unity behind better education and desegregation rather than racial motives.
