If I don't particularly like the schools in my neighborhood... should I be able to send my kids to the next district over, where I don't pay taxes, but where they might have better schools? No. I need to move there, pay in, and then my kid can go. that is how the system works.

That is entirely different from a situation where there is a school for black kids and a school for white kids in my own district. Or a situation where I can not move to the city with good schools because of my skin color.
Didn't the fragmentation of school districts in Metro Detroit start because of court ordered integration [[i.e. bussing) within single districts? I don't see how you separate the two.
