School funding disparities should alarm all, not just those who lean left
“A recent study by EdBuild, a think tank researching education spending, found widespread disparities in education funding along racial lines, with predominantly white school districts receiving $23 billion more in state and local dollars than their nonwhite peers across the country. On Twitter, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) cited the funding inequality as an example of systemic racial discrimination, and other left-leaning advocates followed suit. However, policymakers from across the political spectrum also should be concerned.”
