But you said you were against discrimination, Doug, and nothing involves as much discrimination as money.

Ending a system by which having a lot of money and power means that your children have an enormous advantage at every stage of their education would not be easy, true enough.

It would at the least mean putting an enormous amount of extra resources into the schools in poor areas, and into all kinds of other things.

It'd be quite a challenge for any society to do that. But the richest country in the history of the human race could do it, if it wanted to, and if it really believed in an end to discrimination. And then the rest of the world might follow.
