Public education is 100% not even across the nation. This is for sure. However, when children are taught to read, they can very easily understand that they are not participating in an education, rather they are merely receiving "pamphlets" on what to fill their heads with so they can be perceived as educated. In the bigger picture, education itself obviously needs an overhaul. The school's reaction to her brilliant interpretation of an extraordinary individual is unwarranted and goes against the principles of what an educational institution is designed for. Honestly, I don't believe the issue here is race, as the author of the article makes it out to be. The issue is incompetence in public education across the board.
