Abstract
The Bush administration currently supports the concept of school choice as a means to counter the negative effects of public school systems that have not maintained standards of excellence. Futhermore, this administration, along with some policy advocates and practitioners, contends that parental choice plans will improve the quality of education for low-income minority students who are at risk for school failure. This article argues against this policy proposal from historical and sociocultural perspectives.
