Economic concerns are bigger than that. Quality of education is core to a well functioning society. A dollar spend now on education is worth the investment.

There's a danger in classifying education as an investment. If I look at how my investments are performing, and I see a broad group that isn't doing well, I don't shrug and say "thems the breaks", I move my money where it will do better. To bring this back to the topic, if we look at the outcomes from "investing" in majority-minority school districts, are we going to decide that it's yielding appropriate returns? If not, what happens next?
