I think you've got it. Resegregation stems from the poor quality of schools. It is generally true that white Americans make more money than black Americans, and that they can afford different means to acquire a better education for their children. Maybe that means moving. Maybe that means private schools.

We, as part of a national policy, doom millions of black children to an incomplete education. They will be ill-prepared to compete in a market economy and contribute to society as a whole.

While I believe that it is the responsibility of the parent to insure a quality education for their children, we do have to recognize that while all parents want their children to succeed, some just don't have any idea of what to do, because they haven't been prepared.

I really believe that vouchers are our only hope.

In the short term, that will help. In the long run, it is going to take a lot more than that. Parents and positive peer groups are the key.
