schools in the South and the diversion of public funds to those private schools through vouchers was a direct response of white communities to desegregation requirements.42 In Louisiana, the state established the Louisiana Financial Assistance Commission, which offered vouchers of $ 360 for students attending private school but only provided $ 257 per student to those attending public schools.43 Over the commission's lifespan, the state devoted more than $ 15 million in vouchers through its tuition grant program, with the initial $ 2.5 million coming from Louisiana's Public Welfare Fun

The trend of increasing racial and economic segregation is a nationwide trend — not just
in Alabama and other Southern states.55 The South, however, was the only region in the country to see a net increase in private school enrollment between 1960 and 2000, and where private school enrollment is higher, support for spending in public schools tends to be lower.56 A growing body of rigorous research shows that money absolutely matters for public schools, especially for the students from low - income families who attend them.57 What's more, private schools in the South tend to have the largest overrepresentation of white students.58 In fact, research has shown that the strongest predictor of white private school enrollment is the proportion of black students in the local public schools.

By 1969,
more than 200 private segregation academies were set up
in states across the South.38 Seven of those states — Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana — maintained tuition grant programs that offered vouchers to students in an effort to incentivize white students to leave desegregated public school districts.39 Between the 1969 - 70 and the 1970 - 71 school years, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi saw tens of thousands of students flee to newly opened segregation academies.40 In a single school year, Mississippi led the trio with almost 41,000 students having left the state's public school

In the U.S., where 87 % of
white students attend a majority
white school, many middle - class and affluent urbanites grapple with what Mike Petrilli calls the Diverse

school population has grown
more white (from 58.5 percent
white to 62.2 percent

While the number of
students who are expelled or sent home for misbehaving
in D.C.
public schools and
public charter
schools has decreased overall, recent findings show that black

Even
more important was to somehow obscure the racist history of
school vouchers — the idea was originally concocted
