There are probably others but being public versus private isn't the problem.

"Any-Centric" education is a bad education.

What makes you say that? Do you have any evidence to back that up or is that your own biased opinion? And also, what makes you think that the current system isn't an "any-centric" system already? And if so, what would you do to fix it?
The fact that black kids do better in afro-centric schools says A LOT about the current system and education in general. Along with the fact that other cultures have tough times adjusting to United States public schools[1], it shows that whites do have a natural advantage when it comes to education in the United States and Canada, which means it is more likely than euro-centric. So we either let the current system fail as it has, destroy the entire current system, or give minorities a choice to go to a school that benefits them.
I am not going to talk about the first choice because that is what we currently have and the second choice will not go well with anyone even though it is ideally preferable. It is just unrealistic and will never work. So that leaves us with the third choice, which I will support as long as its not forced.
I know you favor equality with all "races", but as long as there is racial disparity in this country we can't just lump everyone together and pretend we are helping because more than likely we are just hurting the people we are suppose to help. Even today we live in a highly segregated school system that tends to be unequal[2] and even when there is an integrated school, the kids will likely segregate themselves anyways[3].
Clearly, the idea that if we put everyone in the same classroom we will solve the segregation problem has failed. Culture does play a large role in education and since the system will naturally favor whites, for various reasons, we should allow minorities to take matters in their own hands to get a better education.
The only backlash I can see coming from this is what I have seen here. Whites complaining about not getting a "white-only" school and turning this into a much bigger issue than needed. It may sound like a paradox, but this segregation might very well speed up integration on a larger scale, which is what I am looking for and hopefully you are too.
