Yes foreigners think majority funding means 100% funded, but my local K12 gets $80M from prop tax, $50M from the state acting as middleman (its a proxy for income tax funding the schools), and $3M from the feds.
With the rise of identity politics in the USA, there's little motivation to help the kids of people who hate you and your kids, its a natural outcome of a multicultural nation.

Dog-whistle racism has no place on HN.
Poor communities of all races have been underserved since long before whenever you imagine "identity politics" started to "rise" in the USA. Was "identity politics" not enshrined in the US Constitution, which protected racial slavery while giving more-slaveowning states extra voting power over less-slaveowning states

In other countries, it is considered distasteful that people in poor neighborhoods get less funding for their schools and police force. And especially for schools, the country at large reaps the benefit from people going to a good school, much moreso than it is a benefit to parents that their children go to a good school.
