Look no farther than Detroit to debunk your theory...There is very little free market education in this country in grades 1-12, and that is in fact part of the problem. Unions have a huge influence on the quality of education regardless of demographics.
Our new secretary of education, Betsy Devos, has graced our state of Michigan with her "school of choice" philosophy, pitting private charter schools against traditional public schools, and guess how it's turned out? After almost 20 years, it's been an abject failure. It's lined the pockets of the 1%, so I suppose she has accomplished what she's set out to do.
