Inequity in education from the Chronicle of Higher Education

A provocative commentary piece from the Chronicle of Higher Education (chronicle.com) by John Brooks Slaughter challenging us to address longstanding inequities in education.

Here's a key quote:

"Most of all, we need to get angry with ourselves for allowing things to degenerate as they have. Education at all levels, from preschool to graduate school, must be improved and must be improved soon. And while Barack Obama must use his position and resources to make a difference, we must play our part by conveying our dissatisfaction to those in charge of our educational institutions and demanding change in order to see that lasting improvement occurs. We owe no less to those who follow."
