I'm again baffled why you would do that. When you have things like Great Schools or US News announcing that these are the best schools in the county, then why would you judge someone for wanting to attend those schools? I mean, the resources available to the public are supplying us with this information, so if you have an issue with how they are rating the schools, then you need to be mad at that.. not at the people who are using this data to drive their decisions.

Thanks for clearly defining SYSTEMATIC raciam.[/quote]

This is non-sense. [/quote]

Nah, it makes sense. The so-called "best schools" are the ones that have the fewest students from poor families. And since income/wealth in the US are correlated with race/ethnicity for historical reasons you are surely familiar with, the "best schools" also tend to have very few black and Latino students. You know that, i know that, the PP knows that, everyone knows that.[/quote]

You don’t “jusf so happen” to live in an $800k house. It doesn’t happen by accident or something![/quote]

So what do you suggest that families with the means to buy $800k+ homes do when making a house purchasing decision ? Should they all choose the Northwest HS cluster in Germantown because it has the perfect racial diversity and ignore all other factors like commute? Should they choose the Kennedy HS neighborhood, a school that is not diverse, so that they can intentionally help increase it's white or Asian population while ignoring all other factors like HS graduation rates, etc?
