In California, the new century dawned with a lawsuit meant to do that. The ACLU sued state education agencies in 2000 on behalf of poor, mainly nonwhite students "being deprived of basic educational opportunities available to more privileged children," says the suit. Williams vs. California describes "appalling conditions" at schools with crowded classrooms, vermin, poorly trained teachers, and rooms too hot or cold.
The students want the state to set standards for conditions, establish accountability, and give "basic educational necessities" to all. The lawyers are now in settlement talks with the state. ? - Can I use you to sue the state so kids in OT get the same funding? - at schools with crowded classrooms... and rooms too hot or cold. - being deprived of basic educational opportunities available..... NEver said your intentions aren't good - but you have to get back to where the problems are and originate from. The schools cannot do it all.
