Yeah, private schools/magnet schools are a real flashpoint for liberal infighting, and exactly for the reasons you described. And what it really boils down to is liberals trying to create the Square Circle.

What I mean is: a magnet school is for better students. Liberals want their kids with the better kids, but then they have to face the fact that there IS a such thing as "better." They want the meritocracy... but it's anti-egalitarian. But they want it. But they hate it. But they WANT it. But they HATE it.

And the rich. They hate the rich. But they want the poor to have what the rich have. But then the poor would be like the rich. And they HATE it. But they WANT it. But they HATE it. It drives them mad.

But they want it. But they hate it. But they WANT it. But they HATE it.
