But why are urban districts that serve Black and Brown students still so perennially underfunded compared to majority-white ones? Why is racial equity in school funding so hard to achieve? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eDesigned to Fail\u003c\/i\u003e, Roseann Liu provides an inside look at the Pennsylvania state legislature and campaigns for fair funding to show how those responsible for the distribution of school funding work to maintain the privileges of majority-white school districts. Liu analyzes how colorblind policies, political structures, and the maintenance of the status quo by people in power perpetuate wide and deepening racial disparities in education funding. Taking a lesson from community organizers fighting for a racially equitable school funding system, Liu's work is a bold call to address structural racism at the root and organize from a place of abundant justice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roseann Liu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226832716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226832715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Roseann Liu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566850699519,"sku":"9780226832715","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_966bdbfa-b9b5-4670-bee1-91b0d95b922c.jpg?v=1701374704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/designed-to-fail-roseann-liu-9780226832715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
