"Savage Inequalities" is a book by Jonathan Kozol that explores the disparities in the American education system. It highlights how schools in affluent areas receive significantly more funding and resources compared to those in low-income neighborhoods, leading to stark differences in educational quality. Kozol's work includes firsthand accounts from students and teachers, illustrating the challenges faced in underfunded schools. The book argues that these inequalities perpetuate cycles of poverty and limit opportunities for children, raising important questions about social justice and the responsibility of society to provide equitable education for all.
