Corridor of Shame: Neglect of South Carolina's Rural Schools

South Carolina is in the news because of our steadily growing economy and national profile, but we still have some of the most grossly underfunded public school systems in the nation. Check out this trailer for the documentary "Corridor of Shame."

I found the video evidence of the funding disparity more compelling than the statements from many of the teachers. It isn't that I found their message untrustworthy, it is just that the strongest evidence needed no words to describe- rat infestation, inadequate building weatherization, etc. I would love to see a followup that outlines, with hard numbers and data, the funding disparity between the poorest community schools and the richest.
