If you could find some real evidence of that and not just the usual hear say it would be interesting.
I friend of mine accused LCC of trying to send his very intelligent white daughter to an under achieving school with a very high non white percentage of kids in Blackburn a few years ago. The reason they suspected was to try and even out the statictics. He lived a 3 minute walk from the school they wanted and they said she had to go to a school at the opposite side of Blackburn. Several parents from the same primary school were told the same thing. They formed a pressure group to try and sort it out. They found out that kids from near the other school were being sent to the one near them.
It would be the same as my kids being refused a place at Rhyddings ( 2 minute walk away) and being sent to a school in Accrington and kids from across the road from the Accrington School being sent to Rhyddings.
