A6: #NewsHourChats Yes for sure. The statistics are clear. We need to end all types of continuing discrimination if we are to move forward.

[peter edelman @peterbedelman]

A5: #NewsHourChats Of course. Schools are worse in poor neighborhoods. We should spend the most on schools with the lowest-income children.
