I didn't intend to offend anyone.

I don't think you can have a discussion about education without bringing up issues of race and class. I admit, that was a pretty untactful way to bring it up.

It's an uncomfortable subject. I'll handle it more sensitively next time.

You're right: race and class are big issues that affect education, but outside of that sentence, you only talk about financial (and therefore class) issues. There are plenty of facts in what you wrote, but none of them are about race.

I take no issue with the way you worded it (though I'm sure some people would, so I wouldn't use that phrasing on my company's blog). I take issue with the lack of evidence on that particular point. It happens. The rest of it was good, and your cause is admirable.
