We’re the only major country that bases most of our educational funding on property taxes. Every American school should be a palace of learning and a temple of culture and the arts. America’s gold and America’s greatness lie waiting to be mined in every one of our kindergartens.

What about more numerous, smaller schools that kids don’t need to transport to? More walking, less carbon, #GreenNewDeal

I agree...it’s a rigged system working against the poor

I wish you would have provided an example. I have attached an article on what you may be describing, it’s still seems to be based on some local property taxes, but that money is distributed differently, & allows some local extra infusion. americanprogress.org/issues/…
