This creates two problems:
1.) Education theorists have long used the tactic of white presence as a tonic to cure black dysfunction. If the black students could only be in the company of majority white students, then the culture of this mass of white students would overwhelm the smaller number of black students and the black students would improve scholastically.
What happens though when the white students are so diluted that they actually become the minority in public schools? This whole strategy becomes worthless.
2.) Responsible white parents, no matter the sacrifice, pull their children out of public schools and send them to private schools in order to flee the toxic effects produced by too high a proportion of minority students in a classroom. The effect increases in power as each white student exits the public system - the remaining white students get more and more swamped by toxicity.
This process spells doom for public support of the public school system. We're going to eventually see a universal voucher system - each child gets $X from the state and they can spend it at any school. This means funding for public schools will come from individual students rather than from an operating budget from other governmental sources.
As the capable students leave, the concentration of troubled students increases, this depresses the performance of public schools and increases the white flight rate thus accelerating this cycle.
Thanks liberals.
A universal voucher system would eventually destroy public schools but what would you have in it's place? Private schools would become subject to the same state and federal laws that govern public schools. Minorities would become the majority in private schools as in public schools.This creates two problems:

Today, white parents can escape minorities by paying dearly to send their kids to private schools but when those minorities have the vouchers, parents will not be able to escape them.

White Students No Longer Majority in Schools
For the first time ever, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.
Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics says minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.
About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. "We can't talk about other people's children. These are our children," he said.

This sucks. The report a few years ago said that we had 5 years before children under 18 becomes majority non-white clearly is wrong. Wrong because children pre-public school are even higher non-white percentages.Get ready for the shit to hit fan.
No education, science, and infrastructure for you.

No wonder we've dropped from first in the world to 17th in public education. What a nightmare!
For private schools that accept vouchers, the control that they have now would soon disappear because when there are no public schools, private schools will be the only alternative for most kids. That would mean federal and state government would insure equal opportunity, scholastic standards, services for exceptional students, and standardized curriculum which is why many private schools are not in favor of a system of universal vouchers.A universal voucher system would eventually destroy public schools but what would you have in it's place? Private schools would become subject to the same state and federal laws that govern public schools. Minorities would become the majority in private schools as in public schools.
Just like water always flows downhill, people escaping dysfunction will always find a refuge for their children.
A voucher won't cover the entire cost of a private school but will cover the cost of a public school, so this aids in keeping the poor students out of the private schools.
Private schools have far more latitude in which students they admit and a blank check in which students they can kick out. These two factors will work to make public schools the dumping ground, the schools of last resort, the schools which MUST take all students and which CANNOT kick students out.
While current, misguided, law prevents private schools from racially discriminating in their admissions, there is nothing preventing private schools from creating environments not welcoming to minority students that they don't wish to admit. The school could teach a history section on black dysfunction which would be insulting to black students, leading parents to withdrawn their child. Or rather than being so direct, they can do what big-city liberals do to racially cleanse liberal cities - they can raise tuition prices, making it more difficult for minority parents to pay the bill and they could offer scholarships to the students who they wish to admit but whose parents cannot afford to pay the bill. There is a lot more leeway in how scholarships can be awarded than there is in how race-blind admissions must be.
The sad aspect to this unfolding disaster is that it didn't have to come to pass. Back in the 30s-60s, the public schools did well, there was a very good mix of socioeconomic classes, there were far fewer private schools per capita. This worked well because the nation was mostly white. Black students were not integrated into most schools, they had their own schools.
Then liberals decided that they didn't like the idea of the US being mostly white and they set out on their experiment of population replacement. Well, as is the way of liberals they thought in static terms and are now surprised that reality is best described as a dynamic model. When liberals set out to destroy America, people don't just accept it, they react. White flight is the reaction.
One of the misconceptions about American public schools is they are universally bad. There are excellent public schools just as their terrible public schools.No wonder we've dropped from first in the world to 17th in public education. What a nightmare!

If vouchers become universal, that is usable by all students, public schools would be replaced by highly regulated private schools and would suffer the same problems as public schools.
For a voucher system to work, there must be viable public school as an alternative to private school. Otherwise vouchers would have to pay the full cost of private schools because there would be no public schools to base voucher reimbursements.
A far better solution is to fix public schools and keep government out of private schools.

With the demise of public education, states would have no choice but to regulate private schools for two reasons.Your argument, I take it, is that a voucherized system will eventually lead to a replication of the pubic school system but with decentralized local control being mostly a fiction and with real control coming from centralized State education bureaucracies. My counter is people won't allow that to happen, not when the stake are so high, not when it's their own children's welfare and future on the line. Parents are seeking refuge from the destruction that liberals are inflicting upon society and that refuge is in private education. They're not going to roll over and let liberals take over control and erase the sanctuary they've found for their kids, they're not going to put their kids at risk again.
Even now, look at how so many parents are beggaring themselves to buy homes in areas with good school districts. It's the quality of the student body that they're paying for, not really the quality of finish in the home. These are huge sacrifices being undertaken in order to safeguard their kids from liberal dysfunction. That will never be erased away.
I think the first step in improving public schools is to recognize that poor performance in public schools is neither uniform nor universal. The worst performing schools are those with a high percentage of minorities, primarily black and Hispanic from low income neighborhoods in 13 southern and western states. America's poor academic performance compared to other countries can be traced to these schools. You can't do much about the income of the neighborhoods and nothing about the race, but you can do a lot to improve the performance of the schools.The problem with US schooling performance has to do with the racial demographics. That's the problem. That's the actual topic of this thread. How are you proposing we fix that problem? More money as a solution has a long history of showing failure to fix the problem. So how do we accomplish what you propose, to fix public schools?
