If that's true then make it so you can't pick the school your children go to, instead they are assigned random one (between reasonable limits, e.g. not farther away than 1 hour conmute)

You mean forced busing? That’s been done. It did not end well. The backlash against it made the entire program counterproductive.

Some people disagree that busing didn't work [0] as well as there is research showing that and I quote "results show that a higher percentage of Black schoolmates has a strong adverse effect on achievement of Blacks" [1]
