Government schools ruined the cities. When kids were made to go to their local school and parents lost their ability to choose a school for their kids, then the middle class left. The rich stayed because they could afford private schools. The poor stayed because they were stuck. I wonder what the cities would be like now (and the whole country, for that matter) if government had never gotten involved in education. Innovation died the day it did.

Public safety trumps diversity.

That is the bottom line in white flight out of schools with large black enrollments. This “documentary” mentioned that there were 61 arrests and 6 brawls in one day in the profiled high school that was 60 percent black. Much of this violence black on white and is racially motivated . It is the elephant in the living room that The Corrupt Liberal Media refuses to see.
