I think the solution to this is full federal funding of us public schools. Some people won't like that because they will argue we'd be pushing some federal vision of education. As a graduate of southern education, I argue we should talk about the widespread support for racist laws like Jim Crow instead of just saying slavery was bad and the civil war ended those problems.

Why isn't state funding wide enough?
The politics around education funding are mudled because governments love to put stipulations around receiving funding, so they can control the recipients. I would agree with those who don't want the federal government to take more control over how education happens. But I could be convinced of federal funding of schools. Of course, both of these things already happen to a (large) degree.
