From a conflict perspective, school funding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conflict theory posits that the struggle between different social classes is an inherent part of society. In the context of school funding, the conflict perspective would argue that the current system, which relies heavily on property taxes to fund schools, favors wealthier communities and perpetuates inequality. This is reflected in choice C, which correctly notes that school funding "shows its true colors by being based on property taxes." Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect: A is not supported by evidence and B is too broad and vague. While D acknowledges that school funding is stacked against the poor in some states, it leaves open the possibility that funding is equitable elsewhere, which is not the case according to the conflict perspective.
