Rantavation is doing a series on the resegregationism of the US school system:
So why is this “resegregationism?” Aside from the idea of “separate without any provisions for being equal,” which might be more honest than “separate but equal” but not in any way, shape or form different. We are standing on the edge of not only creating, but mandating “soft segregation” in our school system. Sucking out public money to fund private schools guarantees that public schools will find themselves in a increasing death spiral–getting worse and worse and making more and more parents pull their children–and their funds–into private schools until the public schools are only the poverty-stricken mirrors of the neighborhoods they’re left in.
