I’m not as familiar with Texas as other southern states, but a huge number of these private schools only got created so white kids wouldn’t have to go to school with black kids after desegregation. In some places the schools aren’t even that expensive and the quality is horrible, but it’s all white teachers and students even in places that have a majority black population like certain counties in Alabama, Mississippi, etc.
This shit is just segregation with extra steps and some plausible deniability.
Pretty much. And the voucher scam is what makes it so awful, they’re stealing our taxpayer dollars to institute segregation and lower the quality of education at the same time. Thanks GW Bush for pioneering that particular grift.
