Last year, with bipartisan support, two perennial anti-busing budget riders attached to the federal budget were removed. 3 And this year, there is growing support in Congress to remove the final anti-busing provision, section 426 of the General Education Provisions Statute, originally passed in 1974.4 This effort is part of a broader federal policy agenda of the school integration movement, reflected in the NCSD’s federal policy priorities for 2019, including removal of Section 426, passage of the Strength in Diversity competitive grants program, expanded funding for the Magnet Schools Assistance Program, for interdistrict school planning, and for the Equity Assistance Centers (which assist local districts in school integration planning) .5 NCSD has also called for reinstatement of the 2011 school diversity guidance letter, reinstatement of the school integration incentives for Department of Education competitive grant funds, and linking the Magnet Schools Assistance Program with HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods public housing redevelopment program.6 A number of these policy proposals are part of the candidates’ education platforms, which are reviewed in this brief.  \nThe Candidates  \nSenator Bernie Sanders has offered the most comprehensive approach to school diversity. His list of proposals includes increasing federal funding for community-driven strategies to desegregate schools, funding school transportation and ending funding penalties for schools that attempt to desegregate, enforcing desegregation orders, and appointing federal judges who will enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act in schools.7 Former Vice  \n1 Executive Director, Poverty & Race Research Action Council.  \n2 George Washington University School of Law, class of 2021.  \n3 See [https://school-diversity.org/press-release-40-organizations-join-ncsd-in-requesting-removal-of-anti-integration-riders/](https://school-diversity.org/press-release-40-organizations-join-ncsd-in-requesting-removal-of-anti-integration-riders/)  \n[4](4 Section 426 of General Education Provisions Act)[ Section 426 of General Education Provisions Act](4 Section 426 of General Education Provisions Act) ([GEPA](GEPA)) [states that:](states that:)“[No funds appropriatedfor the purpose of](No funds appropriatedfor the purpose of) carrying out any applicable program may be used for the transportation of students or teachers (orfor the purchase of equipment for such transportation) in order to overcome racial imbalance in any school or school system, orfor the transportation of students or teachers (orfor the purchase of equipment for such transportation) in order to carry out a plan of racial desegregation of any school or school system…”  \n5 [https://school-diversity.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/NCSD_Policy-Doc_Final3.pdf](https://school-diversity.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/NCSD_Policy-Doc_Final3.pdf)  \n6 Id.  \n7 Bernie Sanders, A Thurgood Marshall Plan for Public Education, [https://berniesanders.com/a-thurgood-marshall-plan-for-public](https://berniesanders.com/a-thurgood-marshall-plan-for-public)education (last visited June 27, ","cbCaiehlCFdjeZsV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiehlCFdjeZsV","pdf",114261,"English","# Introduction\n## Candidates’ education platforms and integration proposals\n## Federal policy context and anti-busing restrictions\n## Summary of candidates’ stances","[{\"question\":\"Why has school integration become a prominent campaign issue in this document?\",\"answer\":\"It follows recent Democratic presidential debates where Senator Kamala Harris emphasized school integration and criticized past anti-busing positions.
