essentially says that it's not a violation of equal protection if schools end up being funded differently due to differences in property tax incomes between school districts. That's a specious argument to me but even assuming it's correct, nothing is stopping states from abolishing that system and funding all schools equally. They're just choosing not to. As much as I understand the logic behind communities funding their own schools, the outcomes are simply unjust. Kids deserve an equal education and if we need to scrap the current system to get there so be it.
