DESCRIPTION:Nearly all state colleges and universities were created out of the Morrill 
 Land Grant Act of 1862, which allocated a significant portion of public 
 lands as the funding source of such institutions.\n\nThe property tax today 
 provides a majority of the revenue for most public schools across the 
 country.\n\nA candid recognition that land values are a function of the 
 presence of community in all its extensive iterations begs the question, 
 "Why not socialize the whole of land values and thereby satisfactorily fund 
 all public education, K through graduate school?"\n\nCome along on a 
 walking tour of San Francisco social movement history that explores just 
 such a political course as a route towards abating racist educational 
 outcomes based upon rent-seeking privatization of community-generated 
 locational values. Put plainly, the failure to socialize the high price of 
 Bay Area land enables San Francisco to lead the nation in proportion of 
 private schools to the general city population. There is a relationship 
 between high land values and the de facto segregation of child education: 
 lower income households send children to public schools, higher income 
 households send their children to private schools. Socialized land values 
 would support first-rate public schools.\n\nAs a bonus, Leon Phat, 
 candidate for all even-numbered supervisorial districts, and a champion of 
 municipal legislation tending towards land rent socialization, will be 
 attending the walk!\n\nLeon Phat:  www.LeonPhat.com \n
