I would suggest the writing of Freddie DeBoer on the fruitlessness of trying to educate away inequality. In his "The Cult of Smart" and on his substack, he makes this case often. And he's a socialist who studies education so it's not the "bootstraps" argument you get from right wingers.
Also it's shocking to learn that California's state funding system works that way. I thought that State and Federal education funding tended to try and offset, not amplify, the differences between local property taxes.
On reparations, other practical concerns are what to do with mixed-race people and also how to fight the civil war that ensues.
