Black Families Believe That Racial Inequality Continues To Grow In U.S. Schools

“Well, the results are in, and while they're unfortunate, they're not really surprising even though in a ‘post-racial’ society, they should be. A poll conducted by The Leadership Conference Education Fund and the Anzalone Liszt Grove Research firm shows that black families overwhelmingly believe that their schools are underfunded and that racial inequality is growing. The poll was essentially developed to ‘explore how Black and Latino parents and families view the American education system’s success in educating their children,’ according to a press release about the survey. The results found 90 percent of black parents and families believe schools in black communities are underfunded compared to White communities, while 75 percent of black parents and families believe that the education black students receive is worse than what white students.”
