I'm curious as to what kind of policies she'd recommend at the end of this.[/quote]

That’s the key. Right now there doesn’t seem to be a good answer that promotes equity when the people in power want to keep their advantages....[/quote]

I love how people refer to not having to deal with children of color as an advantage. Or is it sharing their teacher with a kid who can't read?  What advantages are we talking about here exactly? [/quote]
+1 I am a white person who grew up poor. My parents made every effort to put me in the best public schools they could, and that meant I had to get good grades and work hard and skip TV. When I got to high school and there was no good high school in our area, they saved every penny to put me in private school. My family was neither wealthy nor powerful, but having supportive parents who insist on a good education and expect good grades is a bigger advantage than money, race or power.[/quote]
