>> Instead of making excuses, tell me why the poor kids can't have schools as nice as the rich kids?

Because they live in poor neighborhoods that don't generate much tax revenue?

That's fucking brilliant. One level up from taking deformed babies and 'putting them out' and let nature run its course.

Besides, you DO realize there is no evidence that rich schools can deliver better educations, right?

On the contrary there is a lot of evidence that they do.


(How do you explain this "poor" state of Arkansas delivering the fifth best education in the country while your "wealthy" states rank near the bottom?)

The fact that Arkansas is poor doesn't mean it isn't spending money on education. Twenty years ago, NC was considered a poor state. However, at the time, it decided to spend more money on education than it had in the past. It turned out to be a very smart move btw.
