WSJ.com - The New White Flight

WSJ.com - The New White Flight: "Whites aren't quitting the schools because the schools are failing academically. Quite the contrary: Many white parents say they're leaving because the schools are too academically driven and too narrowly invested in subjects such as math and science at the expense of liberal arts and extracurriculars like sports and other personal interests.
The two schools, put another way that parents rarely articulate so bluntly, are too Asian."

This article is a bit painful to read, and it's a bit astonishing that white people are willing to go on the record and say that they're moving out or changing their kids' schools because there's too many Asians in their current schoool.

Anyhow, thanks Angry Asian Man for the link.

I can't write more right now, back to my paper on legislative decision-making (so boring).

On a completely random note, I saw John Leguizamo in New York yesterday.
