> My original claim was limited and straightforward: Within any given school district, black kids get more spent on their education, per capita, than is spent on white kids, per capita, in the same district. However, after seeing what you posted and everything it excluded, I’m wondering if this might not also be true for the country as a whole.

I asked you a question–is it your claim that black schoolchildren receive less funding than \*equivalent \*white schoolchildren (on a district-by-district basis)?
