This is America. We’re all in a zero sum, winner take all contest for wealth, status, and power. It’s every man for himself. It’s not just that people don’t want to pay for other kids to get a good education, it’s that they want their kids to have every advantage possible. They will openly admit as much. They don’t just want their kids to get a good education, they want their kids to get a better education than everyone else. Inequality is the goal. Inequality doesn’t happen by accident, it’s completely intentional. When life is a competition, everyone is an opponent. You don’t help your opponent, you try to gain every advantage possible.
It’s not zero sum - it’s just that rich fuckers steal so much value from the system that all we have are the scraps they leave behind.
Education is an example of a clearly value adding activity - the benefits of education far out weight the costs… it’s just selfish fucks funneling that money away into tax cuts and religious private schools that leave us feeling like it’s us vs. the world.
Don’t buy the neoliberal and neoconservative narratives. Your neighbors are your friends.

That sounds zero sum to me.
But the other students and parents aren’t your opponents - it’s more efficient to work cooperatively to change local school boards.

They trying to expand that in my state now. How about we just put that money into public education? There are certainly some people that need special schools but most people don’t.
20 years ago, as a new junior high transfer student, I was place into the “Purple House”. Classes were beyond remedial where we spent a day on how open a book and use a glossary. I fought to be moved into the “Gold House” and it was a regular school experience. Basically, Purple House was the “dumb asians” and black students while the Gold House was all the white kids and jocks. Super fucked up.
The study primarily focused on white-Black segregation, the groups that the Brown decision addressed, but found that white-Hispanic and white-Asian segregation both also more than doubled since the late 1980s in the large school districts.
What? You can be white and hispanic. You can be anything and hispanic.
And grammatically, “white-Black” is an abomination. Capitalize both or neither (preferably neither).
Yeah, Black is a specific American culture.
No it isn’t, and claiming it is is racist af.
EDIT: The number of racists who aren’t aware Africa exists and are downvoting me accordingly is hilarious. Please, continue to demonstrate your unfathomable ignorance.
You can be anything and be Hispanic, yes. But you can also be mixed race
Exactly. You can be white-hispanic, black-hispanic, mixed race-hispanic. Listing only white-hispanic is bizarre.
Not really? They are highlighting two groups who are significant in the statistical analysis. Why would you list results that aren’t statistically significant?
