[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So again, "good schools" is code word for fewer poor/minorities than wherever the bad schools are.[/quote]
NP.  I don't think so.  Parents want good schools.  If a local school was safe and well-run with high test scores, 90% of high-income white parents in the DC-MD-VA area would be happy to send their kids there.  And if that same school was in the top 1-2 in test scores in the local area, then 99% would be happy to send their kids.  The problem is that there's an unfortunate and intractable correlation between poor minority students and struggling schools.  Instead of bashing parents for trying to find the best school for their children, we all should focus on breaking that correlation.[/quote]

So you agree with the thread premise- that diversity causes issues, and that homogenous schools/towns are better places to raise kids/schools to send them to. [/quote]

Mere fact of diversity doesn't cause issues, no.  It's only when you start getting too many kids from dysfunctional households that it starts to cause a problem.

Note that this also happens in all-white schools too.[/quote]
