In other words, there is a positive correlation between the average education of white parents and the likelihood that parents will remove their children from public schools as the percentage of black students increases.

the way I took your post was, that when liberals are losing an arguement, they bring out words like racist and sexist to shut up a situation they know they would have lost if they would have continued.

"Come on, stop the selective reading and cutting/pasting."

Stop cutting and pasting the point that was germane to my comment? Why would I do that?

"Their children should be able to get a good education at a neighborhood school and not have to ride buses crisscrossing the city to find equality in educational opportunity."

Now one has a problem with that, the question which remains unsolved, and which is totally irrelevant to the Obamas, is how.
