[X] YES. I think the wording of the law is very specific. If it's not OK to let one group in a school not get educated (and it's pretty clearly not, both morally and now legally), then the school must start educating the least achieving group.
I've seen that argument lead to a zero-sum type of conclusion, "well if you want us to teach everyone, even the dumb kids we currently keep locked in the janitor's closet, then you rich white kids are going to lose out..." As if you couldn't guess, I'm really offended by that sort of bureaucratic--if you want me to lift a finger, you'd better increase my budget--do nothing attitude.
These kids have always been there. The schools just can't pretend they're not any more.
