- edmundsauto 2y agoProp 13 limits property taxes which are typically used for funding local schools. The comment is implying that it’s low school funding in Ca that is the culprit.
- itbeho 2y agoProperty prices in California have skyrocketed in the last decase, and so have tax revenues. Spending more money wastefully won't solve the problem.
- BadHumans 2y agoI understand now thanks. That point doesn't make sense to me in the context of the article because the article is claiming that black and Latino gifted children were under-scouted until the BLM movement. Seems that this and that are 2 different issues.
- pfisherman 2y agoProp 13 had a huge negative effect on quality of public schools in California, which I got to experience first hand. The difference was quite apparent to me during high school when I compared my older siblings’ yearbooks to my experience of the same school a decade later. They had so many more classes, clubs, sports, programs, and activities available to them than I did.
- cosinetau 2y agoProp 13 prevents new property tax without a direct referendum. Without new revenue streams, gifted programs were affordable for school districts until they were not.
