Do you ever think about the fact that the US has created and legitimized a system of institutionalized inequality by funding schools through property taxes? Â That basically a childâs education is only as good as the value of the property in their neighborhood. Â Funny how education is so often viewed as an equalizing factor when there is nothing equal about it.
I really donât care if Iâve already reblogged this
Because this needs to be rebloggedâŚ.
I remember learning this for the first time as an adult. I had grown up thinking education was the great playing field leveler. So I was so furious to find out how very much it wasnât anything of the kind.
This is a big part of why youâll often see rich white people fussing about school district lines, because they hate the idea that their money is going towards the education of poor children.
^^^^^^^ BINGO!!!!!
