I can relate to the situations you describe, but they're not going to happen. The link we're all discussing is not talking about making these schools public, free or even accessible. It talks about, more generally, whether segregation should exist.
As for Detroit. Most of Michigan's "gifted" schools are private and NOT free [1] [2].

- thereisnospork 10y agoSo you advocate mandatory public education? In fact mandatory boarding public education? -- I can think of no other way to avoid intellectual segregation as surely their are more 'gifted' children in Berkeley than Compton. So much for the land of the free... To the point: you are arguing that segregating students by capability increases income inequality - which is false to disingenuous over generations.
