Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol (1992, Paperback, Reprint)

Your education is not complete without reading Kozol.

This book is full of antecdotal evidence about the segregation of America's schools. Packed with facts, stories that will make you weep and political statements that will incite ire it's an easy read compared with so many other academic authors. What is not an easy read is the content.

If you are a parent you must read this book. If you are a poor parent you must read this book and pass it on to your neighbors while you start taking action. If you are middle or upper middle class you must read this book, pass it on to your neighbors and take both resposibility and action.

Please read this, absorb it and bring it home.

Then when you're selling on eBay perhaps you'll feel compelled to use giving works as a way to take care of our kids. Perhaps there will never be another chapter rightly entitled, "Other People's Children."
