Inequity+in+the+USA

Income inequality has been a hot topic recently with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and ties into many of the problems we are experiencing in education today. I found these two articles interesting and instructive.

The first article by Mother Jones magazine has some great infographics that really impress the difference in an immediate and visual ways. [|Mother Jones]

The first gives an inequity ranking by state; I wonder whether it would correlate to assessments of each state's educational achievements. Rhode Island ranks 12th, Massachusetts is very high as well. [|Inequity by state]
