Many issues face the future of education and race, from Affirmative Action to broad curriculum. As the world gets more and more intertwined, and the US becomes more of a melting pot, we have to find ways to provide not only adequate but great quality education for the youth, to teach them excellent truths on each of their cultures, so that they can learn to know and understand each other and love each other's similarities and embrace their differences. As technology brings us closer with inventions such as the Computer and the Internet, it has never been easier to provide more knowledge and teach better.

But as with all things, education in America is centered along the lines of money. Without money, schools are not able to take good care of and teach our children. If we can't fund school properly and equally, then we are continuing to love and care for some children, while punishing others by neglecting to care for them and their schools. Can democracy exist without equality? I think not.

I argue that in the near future at least, there won't be many progresses made in bringing the Internet to many urban schools due to the high cost of computers and modern technology updating quickly, less funded schools won't be able to get the latest technology. These schools don't have adequate roofs, walls, plumbing, and heat to put the Internet at the top of their priorities. Technology, unfortunately, brings even more inequalities. If computers and technology are the future, then the door to the future is closed, locked and chained, from the students of schools that can't afford technology. And as luck will have it, students of these schools happened to be kids from urban neighborhoods, which are predominately black.

As high education and technology education are key to getting high paying jobs, these students will be forced to take in lower paying jobs with less growing opportunities. When they have kids, they will likely continue to live in urban neighborhoods, with their kids going to school in the same low-funded, un-updated schools. Their kids will be left behind on the future as well, forced to continue the cycle of low education and low-paying jobs. This will go on for generation after generation, unless something drastic is done. Unless we change the funding of education to make it more equal, we will continue this forced modern slavery.
