There are certain schools within the district where I live that were deemed "Academies". Interestingly, they weren't the schools that were the better performers but just the opposite. It wasn't a surprise that the schools chosen were the ones with the highest black population and, thus, the lowest performing schools. In an effort at parity, those academies brought in the higher performing white students to bring up the overall report card grades for the low performing schools. It's OK, within the academies, those that attended the academy portion of those schools didn't have to mix in classes with the resident thug population and give the thugs a chance to bring down those actually concerned about learning.
It's not racist to say whiter schools perform better, it's a fact. Go back 65 years to Brown. It wasn't the whites trying to get into the black schools, it was the other way around. There's a reason for that.
