My position is the same it is logical to want the best for your kid.  It is illogical to pursue diversity especially since in many cases higher diversity = lower quality.  If those were the choices a higher performing school vs a diverse school I challenge anyone who would honestly pick the more diverse school.[/quote]
   Define:  "The Best" , and explain how "diversity" somehow means you cannot have "the best"
ANNNNNNNNNDDDD GO :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

Best = higher test scores = higher percentage of attending elite colleges

Diversity in almost all cases = lower on those two metrics

Look I'm just reflecting human nature.  Why do school districts that are more diverse have lower home values????[/quote]

Higher test scores means you are more intelligent or just do better  on tests?

Elite colleges = a college someone else has determined to be "elite", when in all actuality a lot of people have attended other schools and  have received great educations that have served as a wonderful jumping off point for their lives and careers

Home values =  what people are willing to pay it's not something etched in stone by God.  People's willingness to do anything, including buy a home for a certain price, are influenced by a lot of things, including their bias, good intentions, bad intentions, mindsets and whims. All of these are factors that can change on a dime.
