Bobby Scott Opportunity Quotations

No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education.

Another example of the educational inequality is the current debate over publicly financed school vouchers which will provide educational opportunities to a privileged handful, but deprive public schools of desperately needed resources.

Unequal funding resources also results in unequal educational opportunity when you consider studies that show that one half of low income students who are qualified to attend college do not attend because they can't afford to.

The promise of equal educational opportunity envisioned by the Brown decision remains unfulfilled.

So, the struggle for equal educational opportunity continues.

A final important equal opportunity issue in education is the current attack on civil rights in the Head Start program.
