I completely disagree with this statement.  Many parents, in theory, like the idea of less segregation, but as soon as it comes time for their precious white kids to attend school?  That's a whole other ball of wax.  I mean, there are those of us parents who do walk the walk, but so many more just talk the talk.[/quote]

PP, just curious? Is there a point at which you wouldn't be willing to "walk the walk"?  What is the percentage of FARMS at your kids' school?  Would you be willing to move your kids away from their friends and from a 15% FARMs high school to a 50% FARMs school in the name of justice and equality?  What about 60% or more? Is there a line for you?  Would you be ok with your kids having a longer bus ride to go to a school with a high FARMs population and far less parental involvement than their elementary and middle schools?

Or are you just advocating that all public schools should be relatively equal?

Again, this study was not talking about racial segregation, it was talking about economic segregation.[/quote]
