I don't understand how this coexists with calls to integrate schools, neighborhoods.
the most quantatively verifiable is race is correlated with socioeconomic status, which directly determines school quality

segregation vs integration covers like a quarter of the SAT race gap afaik. fuzzier things like acculturation to white middle class norms also likely but hard to measure
-
That's not integration. 1) whiter neighborhoods tend to have higher property prices 2) blacks in those areas are richer than average
-
and of course 3) richer families have better test scores
-
school districts are drawn for political reasons just like anything else and there are plenty that cover multiple de facto segregated communities
-
I'm not sure what you're arguing, that minorities almost universally prefer integrated schools because it's a status symbol?
-
The research I've done led to my position that school integration lowered average school performance vs a counterfactual no integration.
-
I'm not saying integration improves schools, I'm saying the drag on the majority is slight but the boost for the minority is large
-
which is why minorities overwhelming prefer integration and whites tend to prefer segregation in practice even while decrying it in theory

I don't see how "integration is a net benefit" follows from that.
-
Also, if you look at international comparisons, education budgets don't seem to matter much.
