Original Note:
No note needed; this is accurate. Milton Friedman wrote in 1955 that parents should be free to send their kids to any private school they choose, including “exclusively white schools.” He also stated he opposed “forced nonsegregation” (AKA desegregation of public schools). http://la.utexas.edu/users/hcleaver/330T/350kPEEFriedmanRoleOfGovttable.pdf https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/private-school-vouchers-racist-history-milton-friedman-betsy-devos
