poor schools keep getting poorer. For example
Kozol points to the inner city schools of Chicago
in comparison with a suburban high school (New

times, there were no assurances that women would
be protected when faced with a man who wanted a

initiate the process by asking for one. As time
went on, it was recognized that women needed to be
