Diversity is important. Diversity in income, race, religion, and national origin all add a lot to the school experience. Of course, a school has to be able to take advantage of that diversity, and encourage the sharing of diverse experiences, not that there is a black gang and a white gang.

The danger is that we focus too much on "diversity" by numbers, and not on ways to integrate the diverse experiences into schools. Adding a bunch of poor kids to a rich school is not diversity, its a recipe for problems.

The other danger is losing sight of the most important point of school, which is the academic stuff.
