Tax subsidies preserve rather than disrupt the racial education divide

Evidence

Current tax subsidies for education generally do nothing to disrupt the current system, which makes it hard for blacks to gain access to the schools that provide the best return on investment. For-profits prey on the vulnerable without transparency, and selective colleges and universities—which have made little progress in several decades on increasing black enrollments in spite of their superior graduation rates for black students who matriculate—benefit from a federally subsidized system that must be radically changed. — Dorothy A. Brown, The Whiteness of Wealth, 340
