q2 · i? · review · r2
The report identifies three shortcomings of state rights to education that contribute to the lack of effective state protection of education as a civil right, while acknowledging some variation across states is reasonable given differences in geography, capacity, and costs.
"Although state rights to education can provide important benefits, their shortcomings include the facts that some are unenforceable, some vary widely in their strength and effectiveness, and many neglect the need to equitably distribute resources."
