Educational testing...allows affluent white movers to consult the numbers and buy homes near schools replete with others like themselves, segregating in streamlined fashion.Okay, do they test the kiddies to see if they are white? No, well then, if they are testing them to see if they do well on tests and, if so, is he implying that blacks cannot do well on tests??? There are sentences in this article that are so bad that I began to feel schizophrenic reading it.

They're not segregating themselves from blacks, as much as from a culture that is hostile to the idea of academic achievement

I'm glad someone said that.
I couldn't help but think "What, exactly, is the author trying to say without actually saying it?"
