As long that it’s done with all deliberate speed [1], white parents will be fine. /s
More seriously and with less snark, as long as our schools are separate, we can’t have true social justice. That was at the heart of the Brown v. Board decision. It’s sad that even after more than 60 years our schools haven’t lived up to the spirit of that decision.

- malandrew 7y ago> true social justice What is "true social justice"? If you ask ten people, you'll probably get ten different answers.
- ardit33 7y agoThey already are.... 75% of the current public system is minorities..... The whites and asians (which for some weird reason, are not considered 'minorities') have already left the system altogether... I predict the next step is going to be to forbid private schooling altogether, or require minority quotas in private schools....
- hadlock 7y agoProbably at that point the parents who can are going to send their kids to private boarding schools internationally. Depending on where you live currently and what country you send them to boarding school is price competitive with local (good) private schools...
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoMaybe they are price competitive, but they have the disadvantage of separating the kids from their parents. Most parents I know are pretty attached to their kids. I know I’m attached to mine.
- alexandercrohde 7y agoCan you give me a source on that? Is that for NYC specifically?
- OldManAndTheCpp 7y agoI wonder if this is unconstitutional: some private schools are religious.
- rayiner 7y agoI’m pretty sure the holding of Brown v. Board was not that you can’t segregate schools based on test scores.
