often depends on family income and race/ethnicity
History of Education in U.S.Segregation did not end until 1958 with the decision
of the Supreme CourtBrown vs. the Board of Education is what led to the
concept of segregation being unconstitutional

American history.Segregation caused inferior education for blacks.In 1954 the supreme court ruled that racial segregation in
public schools was unconstitutional.

Educational AttainmentBlacks and Latinxs
have lower educational attainment
Mainly because of socioeconomic inequalities and racial discrimination
Socioeconomic IssuesSocioeconomic status of a
student plays into their achievement and attainment
income achievement has grown about 40 to 50 percent within twenty-five years
income achievement gaps grow separately within different races
Racial Microaggressions
“brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults to the target person or group”
A study shows that microaggressions are extremely common in classroom environments and not acknowledged/often ignored
Erasing Racial IssuesTeachers often ignore
racial matters between students
It must be taught rather than ignored
Erasing/ignoring these issues causes people to believe racist behavior is normalized
Higher Education
the largest forms of inequality in higher education: income and race
Affordability of education is difficult with such high costs
Affirmative action is supposed to improve racial issues
AffordabilityState cuts have greatly
contributed to the increasing cost of tuition
high tuition costs and the slow growth of middle-class incomes causes decline in affordability for higher education
Affirmative Action
Affirmative action is supposed to be contributing to equality, but most people believe that it is no longer needed
People believe it has not achieved much
Does Affirmative Action Need To Be Modified?
It is often critiqued and many believe it should be modified
Fit the needs of others that face different inequalities
Help those that cannot afford higher education
Karl Marx & Educationpolytechnical education
would be idealHad a utopian idea for
education and believed it would lead to a much more conscious society
Marx & EducationHe believed that “false
consciousness” needed to be eradicated and exposed
Marx believed that the main purpose of education was to put revolutionary theory into practice
Functionalist Theory● The functionalist theory focuses on the
way that universal education serves society
● “moral education” formed a more‐cohesive social structure by joining together people from different backgrounds, which echoes the historical concern of “Americanizing” immigrants (assimilating)

Conflict theoriesKarl Marx the intellectual founder of Conflict
theories.Functionalists emphasize cohesion, conflict
theorists emphasize struggle in explaining social order.
The “achievement ideology” of schools disguise the real power struggles which correspond to the power struggles of the larger society.
Government InvolvementPublic education in the past has always been a priority of
the state rather than the federal government. The federal government's responsibility is to provide
safety and minimum requirements.Before the 20th century, public education was controlled
by local districts. More than half of the funding came from local taxes, which led to the quality of schools depending on the location of the districts.
