The education grifters have been preying on urban schools for years, because they could because everybody "knows" those schools are horrible and nobody gives a shit about the poors. Then they started to overreach and extended the grifting into more affluent areas where people are actually quite happy about their schools thank you very much, and the grifters are now getting pushback. The solution? Go back to the
"poors only" policies. They worked pretty well.
