The system that had grown up in most states is that wealthy districts with an affluent population can afford to spend a lot more on their public school systems than the poorer districts.
Our dependence on the pollutants of this Earth have always, and will continue to have, far-reaching consequences to our eco-systems, bio systems, geosystems and our race's natural evolution.
We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.
You have got to welcome and embrace complexity.
I was rapping in 1939. It's old. The roots are complex. And kids don't know.
