So...
is the premise that poor black kids are incapable of learning unless they are sitting next to a rich white kid

“racist”?

Not exactly. I think the historical premise - and fact - is that schools full of rich kids will be better funded and attract better teachers.

Precisely....and as one who has put 6 kids through these schools (a 7th currently in grade school) here in Wake County, I can tell you the busing idiocy HAS to stop...and for so many reasons. The school board has huge popular support for this.

Don't forget the premise that "black and white kids won't get along unless they attend the same school because children are incapable of learning 'tolerance' unless their environment is delicately controlled by social-minded educators." And then you've got the questions: Do the individual children with study problems do any better by being shipped to a school where achievement is higher, or are they just lost in the average to make the school system look better? If they're getting bussed forty and fifty minutes away from home, how much of a drop-off in parental involvement is seen in their education?
