More than it already happens, it has only been a few years since all most all of them left and most still do. This isn’t an irreversible trend.

Beside the only people who really want to blow up the system are the middle class who moved to the crappy parts and are jealous of established parts. They feel it isn’t fair and have nothing to lose and everything to gain by reshuffling the deck. But their intent isn’t diversity, it is to fast track their schools to look like the NW ones they couldn’t afford.[/quote]
I don't get what you are saying. Shouldn't all kids have the same opportunity. Or do we need to punish the kids for not living in expensive enough homes[/quote]

You Can’t fix the crappy schools by sending all the poor kids to NW. It is also disingenuous to buy a bigger house in a lesser area and then bitch about how the area isn’t the as nice and then lobby to water down the NW schools. Every middle class person who moved to an up and coming area knew what they were getting into and use some of that equity to go private, move or fund their local PTA to help those poor kids they chose to move near that are keeping them from going to their local school.

And no, all kids do not deserve a million dollar life style. It is their parents obligation to provide it not mine. There are billions of kids out there, they are not all equal. Besides if all kids go to Harvard, who is going to pour my coffee in the morning for chump change? Sounds messed up but it is a valid point. 50% or more of America’s workers are cheap-as-possible replaceable commodities. What you are lashing out at is the fast tracking to that end.[/quote]
