SF parents using race to choose schools

SF has a complicated system for parents to choose schools for their kids. This article doesn't fully explain that process but brings up a much-needed discussion - do parents avoid sending kids to schools with a majority of black students? Not related to income level, just race. A Berkeley grad student's research says yes.

interestingly, my boss, who is white, and has half-white/half-black kids, specifically looked for a school in oakland with a relatively high percentage of black kids!
