Racially separate and unequal schooling is alive and thriving today. School districts are typically segregated by income, with non-White school districts getting 23 billion dollars less than White districts. Higher education is increasingly stratified by both race and class, and children of the wealthy are almost assured that they will attend top-tier colleges and universities. The wealth divide is worsening, with people of color being a large part of the wealth underclass. It is getting harder for low-income people to attain upward mobility. In this article, Laura Rendón describes how race and class inequities are connected to a history of exclusion and racism, a segregated educational system, and gross wealth disparities. The result is one of the highest levels of inequality ever seen in America, which virtually assures that a mostly White, elite ruling class endures across generations while social mobility for the poor continues to fall (Hobbes, 2019; Reeves, 2017).
