I wonder if this is an american only debate. I don't know of any other G8 country that would so discriminate against its people in terms of access to the fundamental resources required to participate in society on such a large scale. Canada is not without its faults, and I know we lag behind some other G8s in terms of early learning, but having a system that ensures that the rich areas get the best educational opportunities is nothing more than the creation of a class structure that punishes the poor while at the same time dragging down the country as a whole.
