Well she's addressing issues that have been plaguing us for decades. Glad to know that a woman is doing the research that's needed to tackle these problems.

I must read her work. To argue that there is an education gap makes no sense when the first act of improving it lies within ourselves. People have excelled even when their schools had nothing. Money is not the issue, it's the mind-set of some people that is the issue.
