    This is one of the biggest scandals of our time. American schools continue to be separate and wholly unequal.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1101848395210211328 …

    School districts that predominantly serve students of color received $23 billion less in funding than mostly white school districts in the U.S. in 2016, despite serving the same number of students, a new report found https://nyti.ms/2Tn43dj

        Horrible. Unfortunately, too many people still cling to the idea that high-stakes standardized testing is about equity, when fairly funding schools is the real equity issue.

        This should be our #1 priority by far. Equal opportunity starts with equal education for all. No way around this one.

        I believe a larger scandal on the horizon is backing a Candidate who is against #Reparations. What are you fighting for Shaun? This is the time to stand up and you're missing it. I'm disappointed that I invested my time and dollars with Real Justice to see you turning your back.

        I’m all for reparations, seeing your ancestors on paper as property does something to you. Then hearing the stories of generations speaking about Jim Crow has a lasting effect on your psyche.

        Instead of color, it is now separated by money. 😢

        Will you look at this kid in Bowling Green,Kentucky. He was suspended from school for 25 days because he went to a basketball game and sat on the opposing side to talk to friends. The school board upheld the ruling and suspended him for 25 more days.

        This is because property taxes are fucking stupid way to fund schools.

        Damn shame that the use of Vouchers or support of Charter Schools seem to be outside of the Democratic program.
