Gentry Liberal Update: Whites getting more spots at top Chicago public high schools

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on Chicago's test admittance public high schools:

More white students are walking the halls at Chicago’s top four public high schools.

At Walter Payton College Prep on the Near North Side, more than 41 percent of freshmen admitted the past four years have been white, compared to 29 percent in 2009, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of Chicago Public Schools data has found.

At Jones College Prep in the South Loop, 38 percent of this year’s freshman class is white, compared to 29 percent four years ago.

In 2010 — the first year race was no longer used to determine the makeup of Chicago schools — the percentage of white freshmen at Northside College Prep in North Park rose from 37 percent to 48 percent.

And at Whitney Young College Prep on the Near West Side, the percentage of black freshmen has steadily declined in the past three years, while the percentage of whites has risen.

Escape hatches for urban Gentry-liberals . Will a future U.S. Attorney General file suit against this violation of "separate but equal" in public schools? There is much irony here: another gentry liberal-test only admittance- public school will be opening named after Barack Obama!
