Race, class and academic achievement

Rich, Cox and Bloch (April 29, 2016) "Money, Race and Success: How Your School District Compares." NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/04/29/upshot/money-race-and-success-how-your-school-district-compares.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news 

Rich, Cox and Bloch provide an exploration of the intersection of race and class as it relates to academic achievement gap. There is an interactive feature that allows you to type in a school district to see the nexus of race and class and school achievement. This ought to give pause and motivate us all to fight for better, much better, public schools, everywhere.
