Relevant factsFree
After the California Supreme Court's Crawford decision ordered the Los Angeles school district to develop a racial-integration plan, a mandatory busing plan eventually emerged and was submitted for trial-court approval; Bustop, a nonprofit group opposing the mandatory reassignment of students, moved to intervene, arguing the Crawford decision didn't actually require this kind of mandatory busing. The trial court denied Bustop's motion to intervene, and Bustop appealed.
