FWIW, I think Hawaii, Vermont, and California have more or less some state funding of schools. Maybe some other states as well. But it certainly is not enough.

I remember when the cost of tuition was less than the cost of books at University of California. Before Reagan was governor.

As for the main question "Can the center hold?", i have no idea. I know there are some organizations that are trying to bridge the divide, I don't know how much success they are having.

Reminds me of the Second Coming, by William Butler Yeats:

powerful and clear, truly a clarion call to address the roots of this sad, dangerous, violent country, so mired in unjust ideas and practices. There is nothing to celebrate July 4th, in my mind. We should be mourning who we became, because we were too cowardly to address our history. I am so ashamed, so ashamed, to be privileged American in a privileged nation.
