"Neighborhood schools, when we go back to them, as we have, produce middle-class schools for whites and Asians and segregated high-poverty schools for blacks and Latinos," Orfield said.

Funny how Asians, a minority in this country, do as well or better than their peers in school. Many colleges now deliberately discriminate against Asian students because there are "too many" of them for the social engineer types.

Now having broken Humpty Dumpty, how can a dependency culture be made whole again?
