[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I get that it chaps, but you’re wrong about this point categorically. Dense qualitative description by itself has critical value, even if no prescriptions are in it.

I think you’re very personally invested on this point (which is understandable; it’s not enjoyable to learn that one is unintentionally cultivating a racist garden), and that your investment is driving you to positions you know aren’t defensible. The idea that Brookings has to have a policy prescription on hand for every problem it identifies is one of those.

Forget about Brookings. You agree with their conclusion. What is your solution? If you think we are engaging in segregation, what do we need to change so that we aren't doing that?

Well-off white people need to engage with schools as though they are something other than a high-commitment consumer marketplace in which maximizing the outcome for one’s own family, even at the expense of others, is the goal. [/quote]

+1.  I've spoken to white neighbors who've casually mentioned "using" Shepherd for PK3/4 until they can fine something better (i.e., whiter).[/quote]
