Jonathan Kozol Quote

A caste society, wrote U.S. Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel 25 years ago, violates the style of American democracy.… The nation in effect does not have a truly public school system in a large part of its communities; it has permitted what is in effect a private school system to develop under public auspices.… Equality of educational opportunity throughout the nation continues today for many to be more a myth than a reality.
