Show me the list of affluent parents who are willing to send their children to schools in crime-ridden areas. It has nothing to do with race but with the violent culture these areas breed.
- mratzloff 11y agoOf course it has to do with race. You yourself are using code words of "affluent" for white and "crime-ridden" and "violent culture" for non-white, which is the same coded language parents themselves might even use to justify their prejudices. However, just because a neighborhood is mixed-race does not imply it is "crime-ridden". Spending part of this money on desegregation busing programs would have been a step in the right direction.
- eanzenberg 11y agoYou are the one injecting race not me. There exists affluent families of many different races, sometimes interracially mixing. However, just because a neighborhood is mixed-race does not imply it is "crime-ridden". Exactly. Spending part of this money on desegregation busing programs would have been a step in the right direction. No, it would a step in the "race to the bottom" direction. Solutions should be based on bringing the lowest performing students up without affecting the best performing students. Those are the hardest solutions BTW which is why people like you are attracted to the easiest ones.
