What do you mean “it didnt” … it literally did.

Bussing was enacted and segregation broken. White and black kids went to schools now based not on their race but which school was closer as it should be)…

Now the reason people sometimes claim it failed, incorrectly, is because white people just moved to address this. White and blacks started to move closer to the good schools to try to game the system. The rich wound up at good schools again, the poor at poor schools again. People sometimes use that to claim it failed.

In reality it succeeded.. because while the it may not have managed to get the the rich and the poor to mix, that was never the goal. The goal was to force the black and the white to mix, which is exactly what this did. First they were mixed because the districts overlapped… then they mixed because both black and whites who could afford to move both moved to rich districts. Causeing equal oppertunity by skin color and ultimately mixed race schools.

The issue now was that while it had its intended goal of mixing the races, now we have mixed race rich kids seperate from mixed race black kids. Thankfully (sarcastic) since society cares more about your race than your income this meant people actually cared about the abysmal school conditions for poor (white kids) so now white people actually were forced to care enough to start wanting to see previously all-black schools get funding.

Fast forward a bit more time and the busing worked twice over… first to get whites and blacks to mix, then again by getting funding to the now mixed schools.

We have the hindsight of history and can see quite clear it had the intended result, because its history now.
