followed by the school board steps taken in the Crawford remand proceedings which force a large number of students of all races, over objections in behalf of them and their parents, to be bused to schools far beyond their neighborhood schools.

Crawford further states "once a school board defaults in its constitutional task, the court, in devising a remedial order, is not precluded from requiring the busing of children as part of a reasonably feasible desegregation plan."

Such broad language has led to proposals that the present Crawford trial judge himself make racial assignments of public school students, starting with first graders, living in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, regardless of the opposition within or without the Los Angeles Unified School District. Support for such a plan, which would cross school district, as well as county, lines, is derived from recent reports of some Crawford court-appointed "experts," who see it necessary to broaden the present Los Angeles school board plan in order to "capture" enough white children for school desegregation to be effected according to their requirements....

Court-enforced assignment of children, solely because of their race, to a particular school beyond their neighborhood, without their consent or that of their parents, is as discriminatory as were the state-enforced assignments of Miss Brown and Mrs. Parks....

Mrs. Parks, and others suffering similar discrimination, could, and did, engage in peaceful boycott against the Montgomery bus company; and could, and did, question the constitutionality of the Alabama statutes in the Browder case to uphold their positions concerning the boycott and the discrimination suffered by them.

By contrast, parents and their children, under a busing order like the one in Los Angeles, are in greater danger of loss of liberty should they oppose the discrimination
