Don't be purposefully obtuse.

The state set up a system with the goal of allowing students to move to better schools if their school was a failure. When that happened in Ferguson the state refused to spend the money to send the students to better schools and changed the rules so the failing school passed. How is the Ferguson community supposed to fix that?

As others have said, fixing the schools requires collective action beyond poor communities. I'm all for that, but politicians have spent the past decade reducing resources for schools. How do you see Ferguson changing that?
