[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say the dude who wrote this piece is a bit off his rocker, select quote:

"If you are a white person who moved to a “nice,” mostly white, upper-middle class town or neighborhood “for the schools” (full of mostly white, upper-middle class children), for instance, you are following a well-trodden — but privileged — path."

So, I take it Mr. Noblesse thinks the moral thing for a rich white person to do is to move her family to a particularly terrible school district so the kids can sink or swim there.  I mean, who in the world does that.  It's like choosing to buy a bag of cheetos when you're really hungry and can easily afford to buy a nice meal.

The one thing I do agree with Mr. Noblesse is that we should build more affordable housing.  But that statement of truth doesn't save the cracked reasoning in the rest of the piece.[/quote]

Plenty of parents from minority backgrounds, who can afford it or who otherwise get the grants, send their children to these privileged schools, too. What is wrong with that ?  The real answer is to make all of these schools excellent for all of our children. Period. [/quote]
