This is just mentioned as an aside in the article, but is this accurate?<p><i>&quot;Even now, the schools in Kansas City, Missouri, are effectively segregated, with almost all white children at private schools. Just nine per cent of pupils in the state system are white. Almost 90 per cent are on free lunches.&quot;</i><p>That statistic was totally shocking to me. Are there any other places in the U.S. where there&#x27;s such a dramatic disparity in the race of students in public school relative to the overall population?
