reviewed Freedom North on June 20, 2012 Freedom North
A heart-wrenching jeremiad about the sorry state of minority schools in this country. Kozol has stated in interviews that we are worse off (both in conditions and segregation) than we were before Brown vs. Board of Education. That seems hyperbolic, but after reading his observations here, it's hard to argue. A blistering attack on the use of local property taxes to fund schools, it's also a sobering testament to the intractability of problems of class and race in America. Should be required reading for libertarians and all those who wonder why ghetto kids don't just pull themselves up their own bootstraps. It's a miracle anyone makes it out alive, let alone succeeds.
