The federal government is arguing that allowing students to attend independent schools under the voucher system “could create a racial imbalance in public school systems protected by desegregation orders.”

This statement is absolutely ridiculous. This imbalance has existed for as long as I can remember. The reason that it does is because white families have opted to pay for private tuition rather than send their kids to some of these horrendous public schools. If you take most of the white kids out of a particular school system, what do you have left? Denying these poor black children vouchers is never going to advance this imaginary goal of desegregation.

What they are really afraid of here is that the most motivated black parents will use the vouchers to move their kids to predominately white schools and, as a result, the prey to predator ratio in the publik skools will further deteriorate.

Sort of like birds deciding to fly off and abandon a snake-infested island.
