In America, it’s better to be born rich than smart. The most talented disadvantaged children have a lower chance of academic and early career success than the least talented affluent children. #CEWequity https://t.co/E2YVDJFNAR

Young Black women have the highest levels of educational debt and lowest levels of net worth at every education level, reflecting the impact of intergenerational wealth gaps #UncertainPathway https://t.co/pciV1cjM3X

66% of young people whose parents have a bachelor’s degree or higher go on to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher themselves, compared to 22% of children whose parents have a high school diploma or less. #UncertainPathway https://t.co/pciV1cjM3X

Congratulations to the 43 Waxahachie High School Law and Public Services seniors who have earned a Non-Commissioned Security Officer Level II certification this year! Thank you Mr. Hererra, Mr. Ray and Mrs. Grace for all of your hard work and dedication. @WaxahachieISD

Debt functions as a negative balance against wealth: money that young people use to pay off loans is money they can’t save or invest. Those without educational debt in their 20s are able to save substantially more money as young adults: #UncertainPathway https://t.co/pciV1cjM3X

30 yrs ago I watched my dad walk the stage earning his bachelor’s degree. Yesterday I sat in the same place at the @ErwinCenter and I got to walk the stage for my doctorate as my boys watched. My @utexascoe journey has come full circle. “Who starts here changes the world.” #CSP29
