Season 3: Race and Education
Episode 6: The Funding of Education

When it comes to looking at race and education, especially
its inequities and challenges, the conversation often becomes about the
question of resources. And of course, when it comes to resources, the first one
discussed is usually funding. Whether in relation to elementary, secondary or
higher education, the questions are the same: How is education funded? How are
those funds allocated? What factors in to the decisions? In this episode, host the Rev. Kathy Walker is joined by Kris Nordstrom, senior policy analyst for the NC Justice Center, and Jared Bass, acting senior vice president for the Education department at the Center for American Progress, to delve into these questions, learning not just the answers, but the impact those answers have on us all.
