Farley stated that, “more than 80 percent of the states have been sued over this issue during the past thirty years, but the resulting reforms have been limited” (2012, p.399). These effects are regardless how much effort the states do to equalize funding. As a matter of fact, Farley even supports the fact that, “efforts at equalization failed because the state acted to equalized funding, poor districts reduced their excessive tax burdens or wealthy districts raised taxes to make up the difference” (2012, p.399). Condrod D. analyzed this case by concluding that, “although states often implement formulas that attempt to achieve equity in school funding, the reality is that the locally generated funds in wealthier districts allow them to outspend economically disadvantaged districts and thus provide a much better educational experience for students” (source 2). Therefore, this characteristic of schooling funding leave the disadvantaged students of lower economic class to have a poorer experience and lesser expectations about education than their most affluent white counterparts. From a functionalist perspective, the cultural deprivation theory sought to find answers between the level of educational achievement and the minority group. In this theory, society mobility was more a reality for minority groups if they were more encouraged by their parents to pursue an education and/or
