You claim there are segregated classrooms.  That would have to mean mean there are classrooms with no black kids.  I know for a fact that this is absolutely false.

You claim they do not want special needs kids.  I know for a fact that there are special needs kids there who thrived this year.

You claim that it gives rich white kids a private school education - that is complete nonsense as it is open to all takers.

You claim they "make it difficult for poor black kids to succeed" - the far bigger thing that made it difficult for poor black kids to succeed is the atrociously bad education they received prior to coming to Basis , and the unwillingness of those kids to take advantage of the extra support, tutoring and opportunities that Basis offered.

Your claims are complete nonsense and have zero merit.  These same wild claims were made about Two Rivers and other schools, and as always before did not stand up to any scrutiny when they were investigated.  [/quote]
