noun /ˈbʌsɪŋ/
/ˈbʌsɪŋ/
(North American English also busing)
[uncountable]- (in the US) a system of transporting young people by bus to another area so that students of different races can be educated togetherCultureMany African American children travel out of their own neighbourhood to schools in white areas. Bussing began in 1954 and was approved by the US Supreme Court in 1971 as a way of ensuring that children from different races were not kept separate. Some white parents set up new private schools to avoid bussing.
