Very well, pardon my interjection then. Carry on. I'll simply add that the 'educational benefit' that private schools provide is allowing whites and asians to avoid being thrown into classrooms with largely uneducable blacks and hispanics.
I see. So school vouchers are just to re-institute segregation. I've never thought about it that way. Now I am against it too.
I'm sure that rich liberals will be shocked, shocked I say, to read this. They will maintain they sent their, little princelings, the Al Gores and Chelsea Clintons, to private school because they liked the diversity. Liberals are huge hypocrites on education. I at least understand where the teachers' unions are coming from. They are no different than other union goons. But the rich liberals who force poor and middle class families to suffer through hideous public schools while they send their own little darlings to a safe private school are beneath contempt. They are the ones supporting forced bussing rather than neighborhood schools, they are the ones who favor making it impossible to boot thugs and troublemakers from school, they are the ones forcing idiotic curricula. Of course, they would never expose their own children to such an environment. They are destined to be tomorrow's leaders after all.
Being arthritic (so typing is difficult) and pressed for time (so a proper edit was impossible) has nothing to do with vouchers.
In my part of Florida we have several private schools that have an all-black faculty and all-black student body. However, I know of no private school that is all white as far as Christian academies go, although the more expensive private schools may be mostly, if not all, white.
Newspapers report on it from time to time. So if the NYT, which is where I recall leading the last such report from, 'bigoted', than your issue is with them, not me.
I've never seen such a claim (apart from that book that was published a while ago comparing Asians, whites and blacks); I doubt that it can be backed up with any kind of empirical evidence.
