As the News & Observer pointed out, “Goldman stressed that the vote doesn’t mean a return to the old student assignment policy that gave weight to diversity and reaffirmed her commitment to community-based schools.”

The disagreements between Goldman and Tedesco amount to competing visions of student assignment, visions that do not include forced busing.

One more thing. John Tedesco owes Debra Goldman an apology. Disagreements are inevitable but name-calling is unacceptable.
