"One of the points that I have made frequently on this board is that Republicans and conservative elitists frequently point to private schools as examples of learning and erudition, citing test scores, etc. It really isn't too hard to achieve desired results when one can pick and choose students, and leave the "undesireables" to the public school system"

Then explain the Harlem store-front schools, until New York State shut them down, which resulted in dramatic test score improvements. These children were, by all accounts, undesirables prior to their attendence at privately funded and operated "schools."

Tell me, who funded and operated the nation's schools prior to their "Dewey-ization?"
