In the 1970s, kids from one part of Boston were bused to another part, to integrate schools. In this process, many people were angry which caused violence. There were two sides of the story, each making controversial statements. Each side had its share of violence, and each side made each other the victim. So what is the truth? Who is the victim? Questions like these are what made this ruling controversial. An argument the whites may use to emphasize how badly they did not want busing is that the black students were violent in their schools. For example in the book ¨Boston Against Busing¨, they describe how black kids would gang up on white ones and not allow them to play, blacks would throw rocks at white buses entering their neighborhoods
