It's not really as easy as that, since there is an achievement gap even when black students live in upper middle class communities and attend upper middle class white schools, and come from similar economic backgrounds.
There are a lot of issues beyond poor facilities and funding. Certain segments of our population are perpetually marginalized in our history textbooks, just to name one example.
I have enough faith in our DU community to believe most of us can come up with several other examples, no matter which side of the charter school debate we fall on.
