I never said that bad schools are to be blamed on parents who are unwilling to advocate for their kids (nor did I mention Detroit... hmmm?). I said that some parents are not willing to advocate for their children in terms of finding other alternatives, and those who want to are sometimes not able. This is not racism (my thoughts were not limited to African Americans, but thanks for your assumpmtion), this is reality. And, yes, it is ugly. Why the need to make my post out in that way? Are you denying that there are a plethora of children out there that don't have someone to advocate for them? Are you denying that some children are lost in our educational system due to socioeconomic issues? Are you denying that appropriate funding will help these children?

"... which if the past is any indication will be generations - they offer nothing except preaching that it's immoral for the inner city kids to demand to attend a school that meets their needs best right now. Those would be the kids being left behind." Yep... let the least among us suffer. The ones who are not able. I guess they are less important.
