School Choice without equity is cover for inequality in our public schools



 Dr. Robert Cotto from Trinity College talking "School Choice" with Dr. Jesse P. Turner Literacy Professor Emeritus, and Readman: Truth to Power Hour host on 103.5 FM New Haven on Friday 6/6/25. 



Dr. Cotto and I see school choice as smoke and mirrors for the status quo of inequality in Connecticut, and around the nation. It gives cover to legislative leaders for inequality in our schools, leads to massive declines in local public school populations, and takes away funding from community public school schools. School choice has not desegregated our schools, they have actually increased racial isolation for Black and Brown children. 

If you like a quick look at the desegregation failure of School Choice programs? Here is a link to UCONN Today link https://today.uconn.edu/2022/06/understanding-segregation-and-school-choice/# 

Come listen to our discussion on School Choice today on the air, link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO7GAi3AAzQ  Be informed. 



If you like to listen to the song that inspired me today, its Joe Bataan "Poor Boy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIB2av7TvN4&list=PLJLAdjFrCeXq_MwhyveDIJPyfyv7D69Nn&index=4

The more things change, the more they remain the same
