"In the United States, education is not a federal right. Such a right is enshrined in all 50 state constitutions, but not in the U.S. Constitution. The nation should consider establishing such a right through the courts, Congress, or a constitutional amendment, says Kimberly Robinson, Miller Center Faculty Senior Fellow, professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, and editor of 'A Federal Right to Education: Fundamental Questions for Our Democracy.' America really has two educational systems, says Professor Robinson: one for upper- and middle-class students that works well, and one for low-income, rural, and many Black and Hispanic students that works much less well."
