there was a at preschool graduation brawl that's getting a lot of attention
to the is going by relied line
and uh... this took place in south los angeles california and i should tell you
before we show the video that the parents are fighting because during the
graduation they only had one happened down to share
among all the students
now this is the result of the budget cuts so when he came to taking pictures
each student had to put on the capping down change give it to the next few days
one parent was taking too long and this is what happened
at
so you know he hears the important context for this very minor general
smith
looked a lot of people look at every on the guy huh legend that poor people
fighting each other hot
we know it does have a a anne
got it makes me so angry
but it wouldn't have to fight each other
if they all had
the capping down like we did when we were going on it's way continue this is
respect and was a while back
but uh... my high school was in the
you know suburb of new york it was a little bit more uh... well-off not mike
combo leroy outrages but pretty solidly upper-middle-class right
and so bodies we had our own capping down we had our own books is that
boolean enough money
that we could
turn our the football field into a lighted football field
and i classes with seventy thousand dollars of the time states which
now i'm sure is much much more right
so while we get to and i wasn't even know what we were playing saturday
morning sampras is not the wrong with that as an american tradition its
greatest
not only allah logical texas schools mplayer arts like that about
meanwhile so suppose we play in our polling felony
wouldn't have books to take on like for example
and that it was nearly don't feel that we love them
anyone as it has a good why uses
what i think the money from the lights and the program was a big action thanks
tariq right but no you gotta protect your own
and when it comes to school might kids out dot also agitation
and you're fighting over casting aside at a time in literature
it's the second and third set now keep in mind that public schools i mean it
varies from state to stay
it but i know for of back then in the l_a_ usd system
of the schools are funded through property taxes right so in uh... south
l_a_ that's not exactly the most luxurious area of los angeles county so
the property prices are much lower uh... remember because of prop thirteen we
only pay one percent property tax ah... of the value of the home so our school
systems don't get it about another anyway but if the property
cut cost of the property is even lower these schools are barely getting funded
so you're totally right jake they're fighting over
the situation that they rent but they don't know they're not been notified the
system they fight one another yeah let me tell you what an amazing fact we did
a study in india
then we'll give you a sense of peace and war time right here in this country
where uh... they had detested
low caste kids in high caskets you know any new they have different cast
now that's a very old tradition et cetera
and uh...
if they tested them in honestly
they would be export identical scores 'cause they're human beings that what
task lower caste i guess the mega difference right
but if they can see them together
in the low caste kids in the high caskets were together
and they knew each other
then the low caskets
would do significantly worse in the high caskets
that's interesting is not amazing
why
is because they internalize
the caste system
and what that outside world tells them
says they know that they're or what we're not the high test is we we must be
inferior so they actually do worse than the testimony of lisa
and then what happens if you get a reinforcing mechanism
where they go home to these low caste people of course they do worse
saved that that's why we're higher testaments whether lower test
and so i'd feel like i get the same thing out of this video
where a lot of people will look at this video that cut cut that you see that
imports they fight that's how they are right
and they've got us fighting each other and then that reinforces it
am u_k_ we gotta fight this system and ended were better than this
the you can see that i have some degree of equity and resources
so they can give a people chance less force me the whole point of this country
land of opportunity
if you shut off that opportunity this is what results
