That's funny but you can't deny his reasoning. He got the noble prize in economics if that means anything to some of you.
So did Krugman, who is regularly bashed on this forum.

I did notice that in one school everyone was black, whilst in the other everyone was white. I know that there's more to it than that though. Still, Milton Friedman makes some interesting points (particularly in the second part, which I encourage you to watch) when he talks about how parents took the initiative to fund schools, such as in Harlem and the Bronx (well that one got its funds through a charity).
Sorry, not going to watch the whole series. No offense, but I was in public schools at that time, and know the disparities and inequalities. We haven't achieved much parity since then. Most (if not all) parents want their kids to have a great education. One that isn't dictated or restricted by their income or how much house they can afford. But since we've tied education funding to property taxes, that's exactly what we've got.
