[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so my black single mom co-worker put her kid in a charter. We’ve had several discussions about good schools. How is this racist? [/quote] Well, charter schools perpetuate racism. Glad having a black friend made you feel better about your calculating attitudes, though.[/quote] Can you explain your reasoning to me?[/quote] DP. I think the argument is that school choice which results in some kids -- usually privileged in some way -- abandoning the traditional public schools, it has a disparate impact, usually falling on less privileged groups of people. If rich and poor, black and white, were all in the same schools, the rich white people would make sure the schools were good for their kids which would, necessarily, make the schools better for the poor black students.
