The top charter middle and high schools in NO most likely just maintain academic standards for admission that black students have a harder time meeting (for economic and to some extent social reasons).

WOW. This is some tone deaf bullshit right here. You DO realize this is the same exact garbage that was said to justify the Jim Crow South? Just change “academic standards for admission” to “hiring standards for employment” or “literacy/economic standards for voting” and it’s identical.

Stop knee jerking to defend every Republican and/or right wing idea. It’s not doing you any favors.
