[b]There is no shame in saying that good schools depend on well-informed parents with sufficient means to drive their kids’ academic success.[/b]

That is a documented FACT.

Stop saying we’re racist or elitist  to say so. The confounding factor is that non-whites are statistically less likely to be wealthy or have higher education degrees (recent exception: Asians). Stop presuming that wanting the best schools means people wish to avoid brown people. It is not true. People want the best chance of success for their kids, and if this was at a a school full of green Martians, they would send them there!

The racist tropes are getting old and are impeding useful discussions based on facts. You can’t figure out a way to reduce the achievement gap if you start with a false racial premise instead of focusing on economics.

But it’s easier to whine about racism than it is to work on poverty and economic inequality! Blaming others instead of actually brainstorming is the lazy solution.
