The Broadways - Jonathan Kozol Was Right... lyrics

i read a book the other day about public schools in our nation an indictment of our prevailing caste system it seems so many things i've taken for granted others cant access at all i ditched computer cla** while others had no books i learned to hate my halls, there's holes in walls in schools right in my town serving the rich, keeping the lower cla**es down what do i mean by this statement? it seems only too clear with your english cla** in a bathroom how well do you think you'd fare? i read of schools so overcrowded no room could be saved not auditoriums, cafeterias or closet space. a school's income is determined by property tax and how much money can you get from poor mexican and black families trapped in slums poor kids need the most attention but since they're untaxable they get none and because the system s**s when the kids grow up they'll have to send their kids back into the system that f**ed them it's a cycle that for years has not been broken there's a name for this it's social reproduction and we maintain this caste system by letting them enforce it we're all flowers growing in a garbage can" the teachers tell their kids but how can a flower grow when the sunlight's blocked by the lid? disribute property tax more fairly at least that's a start cuz little flowers can't grow in the darkness they need everything we've got.
