.” In terms of Black children being able to obtain racial equality in education, New York only outpaces Connecticut, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Much of this has to do with the fact that, in New York City at least, local public schools can receive additional funding from higher income earning parents who bring additional resources to a school. Because of income inequality, white parents tend to be able to fund more programs for their children’s schools than Black parents can.
“Recent years have brought increases in racial isolation within schools and an increase in the number of racially identifiable schools,” East Carolina University’s Dr. Crystal Renee Chambers told WalletHub. “Given correlations between race and wealth with attendant reliance on local property taxes to fund education, there is a racially identifiable impact on school funding.”
And University of California, San Diego’s Dr. Holly Okonkwo noted that “whole communities have been barred from access to well-resourced neighborhoods and schools based on race. At the same time, schools in Black and brown communities continue to be underfunded and under-resourced which further contributes to the racial wealth gap.”Amsterdam News is renowned for its reporting of the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
