. . . There is just no fucking way to avoid that outcome if you allow parents to "freely" choose schools. Why?

Most parents have historically opposed integrated education as devil incarnate . . .

This was a bit more pessimistic than I'd have been, but the fact remains that busing for purposes of desegregation is going the way of the dodo bird. Here in D.C. (sic), there's Prince George County of Md. It's got a high proportion of African- Americans of diverse incomes. The political leadership is mostly African-American. They have just decided to end busing. If you were looking for a definitive signal, that would do pretty well.
