Injustices on US Children
Injustices on American Children: Lack of Equality in Funds Allocated by the Local, State, and Federal Governments In the continuously changing society of today’s world, the existence of discrimination based on age, gender, race, or prosperity is a constant. Over the years the government and its courts have tried to develop laws and amendments to end these forms of discrimination. One issue of public opinion is that of the discrimination that occurs within the public school systems involving the cyclical patterns of discrimination based on wealth and race. Jonathan Kozol’s book, Savage Inequalities, describes the struggle of children in unprivileged inner city schools and their battle with the public school system. The less wealthy, inner city students do not receive adequate schooling compares to that of the wealthier, suburban students due to their dependence on aid from the local governments, the segregation that results from this factor, and the lack of resources allocated to the schools. Public schools rely on local governments for their source of money and materials. Schools receive the majority of their funds from property taxes (O’Conner 139).
