<p>An important issue today is judicially sanctioned affirmative action in public schools, known simply as "busing", to racially balance them. Mandatory busing of innocent students, on a racial basis, is generally considered "reverse discrimination" as evidenced by recent state legislative steps against such forms of affirmative action. But a quicker means of ending busing occurring in desegregation actions may be by constitutionally objecting to it in those cases.</p>
<p>The issue is examined in the book <span class="bold">Busing —Not Integration— Opposed</span>, by <span class="bold">Elmer Enstrom, Jr.</span>, a public interest lawyer, evolving from his <span class="italic">pro bono</span> representation of San Diego anti-busing parents and students in <span class="case">Carlin v. Board of Education</span> from 1980 until the case's end in 1998. Along with a brief history of court-ordered desegregation of schools, the precedents and reasoning used by busing proponents, Enstrom recounts his clients' success in intervening and posing constitutional objections to prevent forced busing in the <span class="case">Carlin</span> case.</p>
<p>The book shows how persons aggrieved by forced busing may <span class="italic">Invoke Our Color-Blind Constitution to End It.</span> It presents a <span class="italic">Reasoned Opposition to Race-Based Affirmative Action in Public Schools</span> to the national dialogue invited by the President's Initiative on Race.</p>
