We didn't have room on-air for the entire interview. In the web extras below, Ted Shaw and Susan Goering discuss inequality in education. First, Missouri v. Jenkins, a case that solidified the U.S. Supreme Court's post-Brown v. Board take on school segregation, then the Bradford case here Maryland, in which the state constitution, not federal guarantees, was used as a basis to challenge inequality in the classroom. They describe what it took to convert the judge’s decision in the courtroom into funding in the classroom via the Thornton formula. Lastly, Ted Shaw tells Sheilah his take on the U.S. Supreme Court and inequality.

“In the past, personal and political liberty depended to a considerable extent on government inefficiency.  The spirit of tyranny was always willing, but its organization and equipment were generally weak.  Progressive science and technology have changed all that completely.”  

-Aldous Huxley, 1948
